The person driving the delivery truck, gets extra pay for hazardous cargo. We do not get paid when we drive on the same road.

Gasoline truck, Fuel Oil truck, Propane truck - all carry hazardous material. All will
burn (not blow up) if hit by an object causing the tank to split open and a heat source causes ignition. A buried tank won't get hit by an object. If the buried tank or line leaks it won't blow up the tank even if the leak is ignited. Things blowing up on TV is not what really happens - how many cars do you see blowing up? Car/trucks do burn in accidents.... not blow up.
