I don't need to read someone else's post's to get my information. You might? I don't

Yep, asphalt company's most commonly use solid bore tanks. Those can be dropped.

I watched 2 lesbians go at it, does that mean I had a threesome?

I've had 2 breakdowns were I had to physically transfer product off of my trailer into a spare trailer to because my landing gear was not strong enough to support the weight of the product the way that is was loaded.
I didn't say "ALL". I said "MOST" tankers, but I probably should have specified a certain percentage so certain people would understand. I would go into this further and why some trailers can be dropped and other can't but I'm guessing you have a lot of experience and already know everything?
We shared a terminal with another tanker company who hauled Lime Slurry. They could also not drop loaded.
Have a great day Super Truckers!
