Easiest and cheapest way to transfer liquids from lorry tanker to slurry tanker?

Bit of back story, this is the first year I’ve had ad digestate spread on our growing crops, the contractor used both umbilical and tankers with dribble bars and I’m pleased with how the crops are looking, but he made a mess in doing so.
I have access to a 2500 gal tanker on floatation tyres with a dribble bar, and am thinking of maybe doing the job myself but would need to offload tankers quickly.
I haven’t any storage as the blocks of fields will be different every year.
I’m thinking to only reasonable solution would be a nurse tank, but they’re quite expensive.
Just thinking if the forum collective have any bright (and cheap) ideas?

We spread direct from lorry with 2 2000g tankers. 6800g in lorry so 4 loads
If its short draw they happy enough.

Lorry was a standard bauer fitting which I put on end of our hose.
Word of warning. The digestate is hot and will show up any cracks in an old pipe-dont ask me how I know!
