I’m a former heavy truck mechanic that worked on gasoline tankers. I assume that’s the kind of tanker trucks you’re talking about.

The most common reason is that it looks nice. Drivers spend a significant portion of their lives in their trucks. Some of them just like shiny trucks. You see things like that in all big trucks, not just tankers. Some drivers like fancy paint jobs, lots of chrome, lots of lights, etc. Other drivers are okay with plain looking trucks.
