And 500 hp? I wish, try 475

You should be content with 475. Imagine how I felt when I went from a truck with a 500 Cat and 3.42s to a truck with a 430 Detroit that had been be-balled, and cut back to 370. Think of how many coolie carrier drivers are out there, wishing they had a 475 to work with.
Then again, I started off on a water tanker with a 215 Cummins.
But the one you really need to fear is my Ottawa Commando, with its 5.9 Cummins. All I need now is a leather vest and some chicken lights, and I'll put all the rooster cruisers to shame :lol:

Must be convenient. Do you know how difficult it is to find a convenient spot in a sleeper to store a 55 gallon drum?

Wha-wha-WHAT? They make you go in the tank? One reason I started driving tanker was that I didn't have to fingerprint freight. Now, I haul chemicals, so I don't deal with that, but I never thought food grade would get you in there. Eww...

LOL...they don't make you go in the tank. You have a long pole with a squeegee on the end of it. Then you push and pull the last couple of remaining inches of chocolate out of the tank. That stuff is thick so it won't drain out all the way on it's own. Most chocolate tankers have to openings on the top for this reason. But you still get chocolate all over that pole and it ends up getting all over the place.

I was actually being a bit conservative. I putt around the Hoosier with a 525 Detroit. She gets around quite well.
