[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 4072501, member: 14057"] Because liquid is a dynamic load. It wants to slosh around which if the load is in the bed of a truck high center of gravity it slosh around and unload tires or create excessive loads. The baffles will prevent some of the sloshing. Your still hauling a dynamic load but it does not get as much momentum built up inside the tank. If you are pulling that 2400 lbs of water behind a an 7000 lb truck it is not too bad. But if you have it behind a 1200 lb side by side or behind a little 2800 lb tractor you are going to have to be pretty delicate with how you drive. Also it isn’t near as bad when it is completely full but you have the container half full and it has lots of free room To move around inside the container. [/QUOTE]
