    So you want us to get in with the monkey that makes things hard enough for us already?

    You HAVE to use Ethanol. Yet you get 60-70% of the mileage due to reduced BTU's per gallon. So you use MORE fuel.


    Same with Bio-diesel.

    AND the price of fuel keeps going up.


    Take the big government out and stop playing your silly shell games.

    And it's an EDUCATED person who is making that statement NOT just some "poo truck driver" with no education. My background is industrial management and I have also taken classes in Energy and Environmental concerns.

    These stupid games are ridiculous at best.

    The tailpipe is an excellent example of a stupid shell game that uses nothing but the Bernoulli principle to draw in fresh air to dilute the actual exhaust out of the engine.

    At no point does this wonderful additional cost to the vehicle to a THING to reduce the emissions on the vehicle. Yet it's a mandatory expense that is added to a vehicle and for what end? The "appearance" of reduced emissions that is a simple shell game.

    Thank you big government.

    I was a cooperate drone, been on 2 sides of the call of duty. I'm not made to do all those tasks in a 9-5 shift, OTR was easier. Accepcted a local job for the same company I'm with, pays better a hour than being a cooperate (edit).

    The government has the largest source of trucks available to you, this does not make any sense to me why you need a O/O truck.

    GSA could supply you with anything you desired.
     
    Brickman and BigSam Thank this.

    It's the government, they don't know how to think. It's to complicated for them to digest how to get things done properly, they only make laws to kill our country and business. Never trust the EPA! Liberals!

    What he said!!

    Maybe they want to start charging us for Carbon usage, you know the carbon credits thing.

    I drive a company truck, and I wouldn't let you within 100 ft of the one I drive. You getting the hint, that O/Os will not allow you to touch their rigs? EPA needs to be abolished!!
