About Tanker Trucking
Tanker trucks transport liquid cargo including petroleum products, chemicals, food-grade liquids, and water. Hazmat endorsement is typically required. Limited carrier pool supports strong rates.
Tanker Market in the Northeast
The Northeast tanker market is anchored by petroleum distribution from refineries in Linden NJ, Marcus Hook PA, and the Baltimore area.

Hazmat endorsement and tanker experience requirements limit the carrier pool, supporting strong rates.
