My newest book is now in print.  It is a little higher priced than I would have wished but it has loads of color pictures and color ink is expensive.

We built this tanker at Truck & trailer Specialties. It has been a challenge as the tanker does chloride applications for dust control in the summer at a rate of 1,500 to 2,000 gallons a lane mile and then does anti-ice application in the winter at a rate of 20 - 30 gallons a lane mile.  Obviously, this is a huge difference in application rates.
