Water Tanker Rollover Prevention - US DOT - FMCSA - NTTC

Let's help eliminate deaths and injuries to emergency responders from fire department tanker/tender rollover crashes. Please share this video with fire departments in your area or membership. The video contains a special introduction for fire fighters to the Cargo Tank Rollover Prevention Video developed by the U.S. Department of Transportation in cooperation with NTTC. Single copies for reproducing the video are available at no cost for reproduction and sharing with a larger audience.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), in association with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and industry partners, created this tool as a training aid for commercial drivers of cargo tank motor vehicles transporting hazardous materials.
This training video covers the four approaches to reducing cargo tank truck rollovers: vehicle design and performance, load effects, highway factors and driver factors. The main focus however, is on the driver, since statistically; drivers are ten times more likely to be the cause of the rollover than any of the other factors. With this video, we hope to improve and enhance the consciousness of cargo tank motor vehicle drivers and the hazardous materials industry about common driving errors and to provide valuable driving information. Fleet safety managers are encouraged to use this video to supplement their driver training programs, as this information offers preventive measures that cargo tank motor vehicle drivers can take to help avoid a rollover crash.
The interviews, ideas, and suggestions on this video were created at the request of the cargo tank motor vehicle industry. The video clips show examples of driver errors that we hope will serve to motivate cargo tank motor vehicle drivers to become safer drivers and thereby avoid dangerous driving situations.

Good training video

[@peterlucero9512]

my recommendation is that they put baffles inside the tank

[@mansoor-martyhassan9206]

That wont solve the problem buddy --

[@cammontreuil7509]

Too much speed is the problem.

[@cockula776]

Still rollover with baffles ... Speed is one, sudden braking, curves, and the death knell - going on the soft shoulder. No longer a volly due to health issues, but LODD's from this or any reason still hurts.

[@thomasvlaskampiii6850]

Food grade tanks can't have baffles for sanitation purposes. Its impossible to properly clean out a tank with baffles. And any bacteria that's left in there to grow will spoil any other loads. I cant imagine having a trailer full of spoiled milk

[@cammontreuil7509]

Nobody does any of this. Tankers drive like maniacs just like the rest of the truck drivers.
Very rarely do you see any truck driver drive defensive. It's combat driving out there.

No other way
