    @Davo727 X is No Tanker/Hazmat combo. Looks like I will have some research to do and options to list. @STexan, what are some of the negatives from the Oil Fields?

    Yeah, they've got all that technical stuff already, ---
    however, those innovations aren't for, or on/in, the Big trucks, ....... yet.
    They install all that in the Big truck truck drivers drivin' those Big trucks.
    Would y'all believe the next industry changin' technology to hit the market will be Robotics?
    Right now they're tryin' to get Robot, (Lumpy), advanced enough to unload semi-trailers, --- properly and quickly.
    (Some assembly required)

    Problem is, Big truck truck drivers ain't too anxious to tote Lumpy around with 'em, --- seems the engineers are puttin' too much intelligence in the Lumpy prototypes, and Lumpy manages to convince the Big truck truck drivers that it's their responsibility to get the load off while Lumpy relaxes for several hours.
    They say it ain't planned, (at this time), but I'd bet big bucks that Lumpy gets programed to drive the Big truck, too, --- renderin' Big truck truck drivers obsolete. But on a positive note, chances are good that they can be re-trained to do a job even Lumpy won't do, --- Unload semi-trailers.
    It'd be a lotta work retrainin', --- but it'll keep Lumpy content, for the time bein', anyway.

    However, there IS one area where the engineers have had great success removing almost completely from the job, ---
    the fun, it used to be, and ain't no more. Count on it gettin' worse though, which is now considered better, ... profit wise.

    Now there's a bright yellow sticker on the dash of company Big trucks that reads, ----
    Get in,
    Sit down,
    Buckle up,
    Shut up,
    And drive.
