Let’s Talk About Tanker Trucks and What They Need

Do you see those big trucks on the road? Some carry cemento, some move combustible, and some even carry milk o químicos. These are called camiones tanque. They help bring fuel to your gas station and water to your town. But did you know these trucks must follow many reglas y laws?

En GRUPO CLW, we make these trucks. We help you understand all the rules. We also build trucks just right para tu trabajo.

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 Departamento de Transporte (DOT), Administración Federal de Seguridad del Transporte Motorizado (FMCSA), Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), Administración de Protección Ambiental (EPA)y 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.

    Why Are These Rules So Hard?

    That’s where we come in. We can:

    • Explain laws in easy words
    • Show you what parts fit
    • Give real examples
