Trucking info website Layover.com recently ran a story about what it takes to keep tanker trucks
kosher. A link in the kosher food distribution chain that many diners may not think of, kosher washing stations for
tanker trucks are apparently a big business. When a tanker truck drops off its liquid cargo, it then goes to a washing

offering a kosher-grade wash at a non-kosher facility. As this
list shows, there are plenty of facilities. Hey, I thought it was interesting.Keeping tanker trucks kosher
