    Tie them up and leave them on the new high speed rail tracks.

    I'm thinking once they catch up on making trucks rates will start to drop. The last time when oil was a $130 a Barrell there was a 1.5+ year wait to get a new truck. Those trucks kept arriving and rates slid slowly. Then oil popped and rates went down quick.

    Freightliner delivered 52% of thier orders in 21.

    Typically the reason for that much storage is a low recovery rate in the well. I also would oversize a tank if the well was deep, my house in NY was 550 feet with the pump set at 520'. Reasoning being that the startup of the pump puts a lot more wear and tear on the equipment than when it is running. I would install two tanks instead of one because of redundancy, the cost of two tanks is sometimes cheaper than one large one, smaller tanks are more common and easier to get and sometimes there is something in the water that requires two separate tanks for treatment (i.e. contact time when chlorine is introduced). But what do I know, I'm just a truck driver.

    H2S people out in west Texas. They would have a couple of tanks. They would let the water degas for 3 or 4 days before they would drink it. Cisterns sound better.

    The crane operator is the highest paid spot.

    Port of savannah hired like 40% more people coming up on a year. I haven't heard LA/SD doing that. If they did, they could cut them when things got back to normal. Then per union rules once people push out, retire, they could be employed again. It seems simple. It's not putting a man on the moon.

    I always treated that with a magenese greensand filter, though aeration or chlorination are viable alternatives.

    Cisterns are nasty.

    Mine's also a shared well with The House of Rhonda.

    Dude has the house plumbed for a little RO set-up under the sink. ( Extra $500 ). Has a line running to the fridge for ice maker and water.
