Are old ppl buying junk cars so they don’t have to be responsible for their boo-boo’s?

The truck would be lighter because the filled helium would replace the otherwise heavier atmospheric air that would of been inside the tanker instead.

Why do truckers use coke to clean their windshields?

You forget, the helium is under pressure when it is stored in the tank. A lot of pressure. At the pressure it is stored, I would expect it to be denser than air. If you filled the tank up with just enough helium to fill it and not so much that it is under a high pressure, I would expect it to make the tank lighter but not to a very noticable level.

How do you justify racing through a parking lot...?

the helium would be packed in so tight it is condensed to a liquid so it would not be lighter

Please help me with this question/concern*********Thank you sooo much?

I think not, they usually ship gases in liquid form because its more efficient. If it was gas then yes it would be lighter.

Do the people driving on the interstates with these big trucks, not know, not to drive beside?pass it,quick?

Contrary to popular belief, the truck would be heavier if the tank is full of liquefied helium, which is how is it is stored and transported. Helium is only lighter that air in the gaseous state as in a balloon. Consider your small bottle of liquefied helium you get with a balloon kit for birthday parties, etc. They will not float away.

Is there a special campaign for survivors of accidents?

Guess the first couple of answering folk don't understand physics. No. To begin with, no truck hauls helium gas. It would haul compressed liquid helium.

At what age can they be set free from a car seat.?

I'm not sure how much compressed liquid helium a tanker would hold, but 100 liters of it would weigh in at about 32 pounds. As a gas it is lighter than air, and will lift a balloon, but they don't transport it as a gas.
