A tanker truck is a vehicle specially designed to carry liquefied cargo, such as water, milk, oil, or gases. There are many tanker truck options, depending on the type of fluid that needs to be transported. They can be large or small, pressurized or non-pressurized, insulated or uninsulated. Some are meant to carry single loads, while others can hold multiple loads. Most tanker trucks with liquids are cylindrical and placed horizontally on the vehicle. Tanker trucks are made from different materials depending on the products they are transporting. The materials include aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel, and fiberglass-reinforced plastic.
