I have been taught to drain the tanks at the end of every day so as to help prevent water and or oil from compressor getting into the complex valves that trucks rely on these days. Oil mixed with the condensation becomes a thick sludge and can gum valves completely over time or slow the normal operation of the valves down. Gear changes or brake systems rely on good efficient operation of many air valves specially late model trucks.

How do you drain the air tanks on a commercial Volvo trash truck?
Under the door on the left side of the vehicle (I don't say "driver side" because Volvo does offer RHD models for parts of the world where that's the norm, and I don't know where you're posting from) is where the air tanks should be. The supply (wet) tank has a pull cord attached to it. Pull on it, and it'll drain the air out.
