Trailer Tank Wash Locations

Tank washes add extra time to every shipment. After delivering a load, the driver might have to travel an hour or more — maybe even to another state — to reach a acceptable tank wash location. Not every washing facility is designed to clean every liquid bulk tank. Some handle chemicals only, while others are designed only for food-grade loads. Some have limitations on the products they can wash due to, various limitations including regional groundwater restrictions.

Once the driver arrives at the tank wash facility, he or she will likely need to wait his or her turn to be cleaned. This is then followed by the tank wash itself, which can take several hours. A wash can be more time consuming if there is difficulty removing excess liquids (or ‘heel’) out of the tank before washing.

Washes also add cost, not only the empty deadhead miles to the tank wash, but also the cost of the tank wash. The cost of washing the trailer may appear on the shipper’s freight bill as a separate accessorial charges. For some products, bulk liquid tanker carriers will apply a standard washing charge. For others, the carrier will pass along the actual dollar amount that the Tank Wash Location charges.

Tank Wash Facilities

Tank wash facilities are located across North America and will typically wash out the tank in one of the following ways.

The most common type of tank wash is performed with a caustic soda solution or detergent. The solution will be placed inside a spinning mechanism that is inserted into the tank through the dome. This mechanism spins around and sprays the solution all over the tank, which is then rinsed, drained, and dried afterward.

A similar process is used for food-grade washes – which use specialized food-grade detergents – and Kosher washes – which only use Kosher-certified materials to wash the tank.

In many cases, the tanker’s gaskets, hoses, and pumps will be cleaned along with the inside of the tank, not all carriers have trailers that have pumps and hoses, along with in transit heat or Texas wash systems, these are all considered specialty tank trailers.

When products such as food allergen’s and other types of bulk liquids are exposed to one another, contamination can occur. Even a small trace of the tank’s previous product can have a huge negative impact on the next product being loaded. As such, once a product is hauled in a liquid bulk tanker and unloaded at the delivery site, that tank will need to be thoroughly washed before it can be loaded with another product.
