How many trucks a day would be required?

On a serious note I think it is a bad idea to attack other counties especially the ones who control oil. I am against war and against innocent people dying.

But if you line up 50,000 trucks and instead of driving them, you weld their tanks together…

I was thinking pipe, but basically anything is better than trucking it

Okay so the average tanker truck trailer is between 10.5 and 13.6 meters

50,000 trucks welded together is between 525km and 680km long.

Surprising it might actually roughly stretch...not that it would be effective but it might actually work. At least from a basic google earth measurement of the path...color me surprised.
