Good morning,
We are in current need of a semi truck to pull a trailer. We fortunately got a 6,000 gallon tanker trailer donated to us a few months ago! We are looking to move forward with this project.

Reasons for this you must ask?

Manpower shortages…
One certified driver can bring double or even triple the water as some trucks can haul.

You also may say well what about the back roads.

We plan to keep the truck on main highways getting water closer to back roads where no hydrants are this will keep smaller trucks from running farther to a water source.

We appreciate everyone, and share if you can!

Anyone have a lead on a day cab semi truck for sale to help our brothers at Parrottsville Volunteer Fire Department with their new super tanker project? Jacob Tyler Henry

Happy Saturday!!
We had a vision. We need to be able to get MORE water closer to scenes when hydrants are farther away, so smaller tankers don’t have to travel so far.
A few phone calls and digging, and we are half way there!

Thank you to Wisecarver Trucking who just happens to have amazing family right here in Parrottsville! We now have a 6,000 gallon water tank! This is an absolute blessing to us and our community!

Thank you Junior Hommel with Hommel Companies for letting us use a road tractor to go pick it up until we find one that suits us!

Thank you Rick Norton, and Daniel Henry for making the journey today to pick the tanker up!

We still have to get some inlets, discharges, and dump chute put on the trailer, and we are looking for a day cab semi if anyone has any leads!
