Tanker Commander is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by Catalina from the Gasso filling station in the town of Dillimore in Red County, San Andreas.

Mission

Catalina points a shotgun at the store employee inside the store, saying that he should give her the takings. The employee responds that the store has bulletproof glass. Catalina, realizing there's nothing else to do, decides that she and Carl just steal the tanker and its trailer. They both hop on the tanker, and Catalina knows a person who would buy it. However, both the store employee and the cashier give chase. Nevertheless, Catalina and Carl safely get to RS Haul in Flint County. Mr. Whittaker receives the tanker, and he gives Carl and Catalina a roll of money.

Mission objectives

In order to complete the mission the player must:

  • Get into the cab
  • Attach the cab to the tanker
  • Get back in the cab
  • Drive the rig out to Catalina's buyer. Be careful not to disconnect the trailer

Reward

The reward for this mission is $5,000. The next storyline mission that would be unlocked would depend on which mission did the player do before this mission. Also, Trucking missions can now be accessed at RS Haul in Flint County.

Trivia

  • In this mission, there is a reference to Max Payne in the window of the store. It says; "Max Pane, BULLET PROOF GLASS.
  • The Tanker is bulletproof before you attach it to the cab.
  • An easier way of completing the mission is to get out of the cab and destroy Derek's car by towing it into the river
  • The Sabre that follows the truck can be obtained by towing it to a garage.
  • If you accidentally disconnect the gas from the tanker, the mission will automatically fail and Catalina will leave the tanker.
  • If you kill The Gas Station employee, Derek will then flee the scene and will then become a random pedestrian who you see driving all over San Andreas.
  • If you take out your pursuers before reaching your destination, you can pick up an indestructible and unlocked Sadler that would usually blow up during the cutscene after the Sabre crashes into the gas station.
  • On rare occasions, if a car or truck crashes into the filling stations as the player approaches it and activates the cutscene, the station will explode during the cutscene, killing Catalina, thus failing the mission and giving the player a two-star wanted level.
  • In beta, the Trucking Missions would not be unlocked after this mission, instead the player would have to complete Highjack to unlock the Trucking Missions.
  • Catalina do not use she shotgun to do drive-by, because gunfire can damage the fuel tank.
