Looking to buy Truck but not sure of size

[oscarlets]

Hi,

I need help deciding which truck to buy. I must deliver 13000 liters in the morning and 13000 afternoon, using 2 Jojo horizontal tanks

Can a 4 ton truck handle the load? Especially Tata 4 ton truck?

Can I drive the 4 ton truck with my code 10 license without pdp?

Please advice.

Short answer is no and no.

You will need at least a 16t truck. Your code 10 won't work, probably need code 14 or what ever the corosponding code is these days. And you will need a pdp

Er! There goes my hopes. Thanks. Er! 16ton is way outside my budget and qualifications.

Er!

Thanks for clarity. I have been googling etc. Ja the truck I had my eyes on was going to break. 4 ton carrying 13 ton hehe.

You should do some more research, there are high dynamic loads involved in transporting liquids,

True. But I have decided to go with the 4 ton truck and 3500 litres tank. I can go 4 times. I can still save alot of money from the current deal I have with truck owner delivering on my behalf.
