Does it matter where the tanker comes from?
Peterborough addresses appear on 2 of the 10 listings; the rest sit within 30 km. Distance shows up in the price, because the truck drives to an approved disposal site afterward. Hose reach matters more, so describe the lane, the gate and the distance from the driveway to the tank when you call.
