The only thing is, Unfortunately nowadays we don't see very mamy Semi-Tractor Fire Tankers anymore. I like the trailer just like you do. I I'm more on trying to find one for a Utility or a Rescue to haul.

Coming from one of the last lands of the nurse tanker, or tractor trailer tankers. I wouldn't count them as a separate trailer. They don't separate off the trailer from the tractor ever, so it would be pointless to make it a 2 piece unit. Same thing with probably 99% or semi based units. It's too much hassle to detach a semi trailer.
Also for those not familiar with their operation. Tractor trailer tankers function as your hydrant at the fire scene. They usually carry around 5-6,000 gallons for the initial attack. Other tankers then fill into the tractor trailer tanker. It's an alternative system to dump tanks.
