Today's load was a liquified creation of the processing done at the refinery.
Each quarter, the accumulated compound was loaded onto a special tanker
trailer, always under watchful armed guards, who always followed the truck
and trailer when it left the refinery.

pull of the load as it got underway. Other trucks could carry ordinary loads.
This job was what he was meant for. And he had the permits to prove it.
