    Why is that exactly? Is it because the conservation of momentum of a liquid makes the vehicle more difficult to control?

      ANFO is basically impossible to detonate without the right primer and milk tanks can’t have baffles in them so the sloshing liquid is not fun on acceleration, braking or turning.

        Reminder that basically impossible ≠ impossible. The Beirut explosion was a big bunch of ANFO going off.

        Why can’t milk tanks have baffles?

        EDIT: I looked it up it’s because the baffles add complexity to cleaning for food grade reasons. So it’s not because they can’t, but rather because logistics companies won’t due to increased cost.
