    Carper and Udall’s letter claimed that glider trucks “are some of the dirtiest heavy-duty trucks on the road.”

    Oh bull have they looked into the environmental impact of manufacturing urea, the last I checked the "clean" trucks are still burning the carbon out at some point, in some way

    Doesn’t matter.

    The manufacturing of urea is “approved” and “certified” by the right idiot. That’s all that matters.

    Pretty much you'd think they'd just stick to improving mileage if they're truly concerned about the environment and using oil

    If they made emission trucks that were more cost effective and just as reliable as the old s60, 6nz, n14, etc ........ We wouldn't see such a demand for gliders.....
    After I get done paying for my emission truck I am gonna get me a glider built by 12 ga......
