Default Source for 55 gallon plastic drum ?

I have looked at Northern Industrial Tools and at *Harbour Freight, but I
find nothing like this.

Any ideas of a source for this ?

Thanks

55 gallons of kerosene weighs 375 lb. a steel drum weighs 44lb,
plastic weighs 22 lb. 419 vs 397 wont make moving it easier. A 30
gallon plastic drum would be easier at near 226lb
