Spills and cleanup
Pollution and cleanup costs after a spill can exceed the value of the truck and load combined.

Liquid surge makes partially loaded tankers more prone to rollover.

Common questions
What liability limit do fuel haulers need?
Federal rules require at least $1,000,000 for oil and many petroleum loads, and $5,000,000 for certain hazmat classes. Check the class of what you haul.
Does auto liability cover a fuel spill?
Not always fully. Pollution is often limited or excluded, so many tanker carriers add pollution coverage. Ask before you bind.
