Capacity Quotes
Our sleeper tractors with fuel, driver, and unloading pump or blower weigh slightly less than 15,000 pounds. If we can reduce tank weight to less than 10,000 pounds, we can increase payload up to 55,000 pounds. Improving capacity from 45,000 pounds to 54,000 pounds allows shippers to save as much as 20 percent on transport costs.

Aggressive Quotes
For many years, the standard hose and line size for dry bulk was four inches. New tanks are being built with five-inch lines. Some aggressive shippers have changed their receiving piping to five inches as well. This shortens unloading time by as much as 15 minutes, greatly reducing costs.
