Would 500 gallon tanks on trailers be an option? There are quite
a few pictures of those online.
5T is 10,000 pounds.
500 gallons is 2000 pounds. Tthat leaves 8000 pounds for the truck.
Seems reasonable if 8000 pound trucks exist.
A Nissan Frontier weighs in at about 3,500 pounds.
Towing capacity 6,500 pounds. So a running gear with a tank
would need to be 4,500 pounds or less.
Another catch is that it's a felony to transport more than 600 or
800 pounds without a special license.
So it has to be a hazardous materials licensed driver and an 8000
pound truck.
I wonder if that applies to individuals hauling their own stuff.
If you're desperate, meet the truck on his side of the bridge?
Any guess what the truck that carries the 2000 pound trailer weighs?
I live in a rural area. It's not unusual to see a regular pickup
pulling a trailer with 2, 1000 gallon tanks of anhydrous ammonia.
