I'm curious as to why you are afraid of pulling a tank without baffles? Its kind of like the new drivers that only want to drive auto shift trucks. Don't be afraid of things you have never even done yet! In my opinion if you are afraid of some things in the trucking business, you should probably stay away. This is not an attack on you, but why let this scare you when many have learned and do it every day in different types of situations. If you want to haul tanks, learn it all, and be confident.

 Being alittle apprehensive is OK....it will make you more careful and safety concious 8) Fear as in scared...no. But it is a different way of doing things and your driving "style" will be altered. But then again....in tankers, we don't jump through hoops and its more "laid back" as opposed to box freight and such. 8) 8)
