Usually tanks designed for transporting liquids will have “baffles” within them. These are plates or barriers which have relatively small holes in them so that large movements of liquid are slowed while still allowing the tank to be filled and emptied as normal. Otherwise as you suspected sloshing of liquid would be a big problem.
