Trucking companies that transport acids and other corrosives seem to be shifting from traditional acid trailers to general purpose chemical trailers.

A wider range of corrosive products can now be transported in general purpose chemical tanks. Aluminum and fiberglass materials may breathe new life into the traditional acid tank.
