Food-Grade Bulk Liquid Tanker Services

Stevens Transport provides food-grade bulk liquid transportation by tanker across North America. Our operations are built around the regulatory, sanitation, and temperature requirements that define food-grade hauling, with equipment and protocols designed specifically for sensitive liquid commodities.

Commodities Transported

We transport a broad range of food-grade liquid products, including:

Liquid chocolate and cocoa products
Edible oils and derivatives (vegetable, olive, palm)
Juices and concentrates
Syrups and sweeteners
Dairy products
Sugar alcohols
Food additives and flavorings
Surfactants

Compliance and Sanitation Standards

Food-grade transportation requires strict adherence to sanitation and regulatory standards. Our operations are aligned with FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requirements and supported by documented sanitation protocols at every stage of transit.

Kosher Certification

Our tanker fleet carries kosher certification, supporting clients whose supply chains require certified handling.

Certified Wash-Out and Sterilization

Each tanker undergoes certified wash-out and sterilization procedures between loads. Documentation is available upon request to support your compliance records and audit requirements.

Equipment Specifications

Our trailers are purpose-built for food-grade liquid transport. Key specifications:

Feature	Detail
Capacity	6,800-gallon per trailer
Temperature Control	Dimple-wrapped heat insulation with remote temperature monitoring
Valve System	Encased rear boxes with heated butterfly valves
Safety Systems	Disc brakes, tire pressure monitoring, roll stability, integrated LED lighting
Tanker Configuration	3-hole tanker design minimizes product waste during offloading; suited for viscous commodities. 1-hole tanker design provides faster loading time while maximizing product yield.
Power Units	Late-model Kenworth T680 with sleeper berths

The 3-hole tanker configuration is particularly well-suited for viscous products such as liquid chocolate, reducing product loss during offloading compared to standard tanker designs. Alongside our standard 3-hole configurations, we offer 1-hole dome tankers built specifically for large food-grade batches to deliver maximum product yield and faster turnaround.
