When approaching a stop sign in a tanker, what should you do differently than in a regular vehicle?
a.Nothing different
b.Begin braking earlier and use controlled, steady pressure to allow for liquid surge
c.Brake harder at the last second
d.Always downshift to the lowest gear immediately
Explanation
When approaching a stop sign in a tanker, begin braking earlier than you would in a regular vehicle and use controlled, steady pressure. This accounts for the forward surge of liquid that will push the truck forward as you slow down, and prevents sudden stops that could cause loss of control.
