Yep, that's what a lot of them do.

Many of them have extender tanks fitted for that very purpose, which can more than double their range.

Modern trucks, fully loaded, will manage around 8 or 9 mpg.

The additional weight of the full extender tanks don't make a great difference to payload - the bulky cargos typically carried by tautliners often don't reach the vehicle's maximum gross weight, and the number of bulkers coming over the water is a very small percentage.
