the return trip – saving themyriad expenses
racked up on a 1,000-mile trip with an

“We can provide a logistics savings of a
third to a half of what it costs a customer to
move bulk liquid by an over-the-road tank

these smaller flexitanks in a trailer or a dry
van,” Phillips said. “I think we will change
the face of domestic transportationover the
next fewyears andmore than likely that will
far exceed our traditional flexitank business
that’s used internationally.”
