Oh, come on.
Everyone knows he wore latex glvoes so he wouldn't leave
fingerprints ! Dick Cheney supplied them ( they were made by
Halliburton ), and Karl Rove burned them afterwords. The only one who
knew was 'Pat Tillman', and they took care of him later.

He now sings with the Vienna Boys Choir.

Jack says otherwise, and he probably knows. I googled up some photos of
rigs that got into trouble and all I can say is that I can't imagine
anyone knowingly taking a tractor trailer through that. Which ever
government has jurisdiction should really ban semis from it. Let a 2 ton
deliver the goods to the store. An alternative might be to make it a one
way, one lane road (assuming it's not a dead end). I wonder what happens
when two rigs coming from opposite directions meet up?

Bobtail... plenty good. No need for a combination vehicle.
But then, you knew that... you know *everything*!

The bobtails at my folk's company (since retired)
carried three products no problem... some four.
Capacity 20,000g for the big one. Each compartment
carried 5000g. Popular places, in popular times, can
get multiple loads a day.
