I tell people it's like 2 people playing bumper cars hitting each other at full speed, forward and backward.
That is the only comparison I can think of.

Agreed smooth bore gives you the bumper car feeling. Every time I pull a 4 compartment I feel like it's gently trying to rock me to sleep
lets put it if you're doing smooth, then yes it'll rock your boat on the road.
if baffled then its not as bad,
if you're a pansy when it comes to liquids, then best to look elsewhere for a job.
you must accept the movement in all weather conditions !
though at the same time I'd like to add that hauling liquids is not that special.... if you can handle it.....(have a spine and balls)
if not then best stay to van or something else.

Yes because vans never haul liquids. Everything goes in vans if it fits, Ya'll need to stop looking down you nose at van haulers.
I have hauled cars, Totes and even tanker and I don't have a tanker Permit or what ever the **** ya'll call it.
We just get it done!
There is no tanker permit where I come from. It is old school, either you can truck or you can't

Look out your window
the grass ain't green
it's kind of yellow
that's where I pee'd
It's so hard to figure what it's all about
when your 'down' side's up
I know vans can haul liquids though I also know vans can't be filled with liquids (for some reason they don't hold liquid
) , they can be filled with containers that can contain liquids, but still doesn't reach the slosh factor in tankers.as for the rest of what you're talking about, is just how its classified....you could be hauling hazmat & don't even need to be placard or be endorsed....DOT vs EPA....it's all in how its classified by one of them at the time you're hauling it....go figure
as for " no tanker permit where I come from " well as soon as you pull a tanker then you better hope you have that endorsement if stopped or checked at scales.

Ummm. I don't think so! I am exempt from needing a tanker endorsement, because as I stated, where I come from there is no tanker endorsement, Therefore there is no way or place to obtain such an endorsement.

Simplest way to explain/demonstrate the dangers of "slosh" is to take a clear plastic bottle, fill it about 2/3 full and cap it. then lay it on it's side in your open palm and move your hand around. That's how liquid behaves in a tanker.
Note especially how it behaves in side-to-side. That's the most dangerous movement, it can flip you in a heartbeat. So you have to adjust your driving accordingly.

Yeah, but you're comparted and the liquid only has a couple feet to move in so it don't get much force. If your outfit hauls Bunker, go for a ride and see the difference.
Either way, tanker will make a smoother driver out of you.
