Let’s Talk About Tanker Trucks and What They Need

Do you see those big trucks on the road? Some carry Wasser, some move Kraftstoff, and some even carry milk oder Chemikalien. These are called Tanker-LKWs genannt. They help bring fuel to your gas station and water to your town. But did you know these trucks must follow many Regeln und laws?

Bei CLW-GRUPPE, we make these trucks. We help you understand all the rules. We also build trucks just right for your job.

Why Are Tanker Truck Rules So Important?

Tanker trucks are special. Here’s why:

  • They carry things that can be dangerous (like hazardous materials or hazmat).
  • Sometimes they spill or leak, and that can hurt people or even the earth.
  • Many rules come from many big offices like the Verkehrsministerium (DOT), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), Umweltbehörde (EPA)und OSHA.
  • These rules can change all the time. So, we always watch for new ones.

With us, you get a team that follows the rules. We help you stay safe and out of trouble.

    That’s where we come in. We can:

    • Explain laws in easy words
