When I was pulling my fifth wheel every summer I had my diesel chipped ....not for any altruistic global warming bullshit but to save money on fuel.... and since a bit less than 30% of my yearly mileage was pulling the trailer,I could increase the truck power while pulling and make up for that extra fuel the rest of the time.....

Yes, about Vancouver.. best city in Canada.. but I live in Alberta.
I don't want any more people coming to Alberta :lol:
Gee, I'm flattered. That might make us relatives. But not unless your ancestors lived in England.
That's a great idea. I'm really looking forward to the increased acid rain.
Their jobs involve dangling 300 feet in the air, roping the blade of a wind turbine. The work comes with a view across the Wyoming prairie and a view well into the future.
Wind turbine jobs are expected to be the fastest growing jobs in America between now and 2024, growing 108 percent.
The turbines stand on reclaimed land covering a coal mine that was worked for almost 50 years. But increasingly, Wyoming's energy comes not from mining what's down below, but from mining the wind above.
In Wyoming, the top coal-producing state in America, wind now provides 10 times more energy than it did a decade ago, and that may just be the beginning.
A Chinese company is recruiting workers for wind turbines it hopes to build in Wyoming, and will even pay for training.
Steve Harshman, Republican speaker of the Wyoming House of Representatives, said he has no problem with the Chinese creating Wyoming jobs.
"There is so much integration in economies around the world," he said. "I think it's all about free markets and I think we all support that."
Travis Harkins traded his coal job to work in wind, a decision he made with his wife Sam and three active boys very much in mind.
"When I was in coal, I had a concern about how I was going to provide for my family," he said. "Wind generation definitely opened up a whole new avenue for me. And a lot more opportunity."
People here have long boasted about being America's biggest coal producer. Now they're learning to embrace the winds of change, and with it, a lot of new jobs.

The minute they come out with a hydrogen truck and I can fuel it up along my routes.. I'm buying one..
But I am trying to get Solar Panel for the roof top of my sleeper...
eNow eCharge System Now Available as an Option on Freightliner Cascadia Trucks®
Hydrogen didn't work out so well for BCTransit.
Duh, the driver, when he shuts down for his mandatory 10 break... welcome to eLogs

For the low low cost of three months of wages poor people can buy a solar panel with a battery to run two led lights and a fan.
What are you retarded.. go to a truck stop at night. 100's of trucks stopped are single drivers..
I had what some call a "normal people" job driving for Walmart, $120,000 a year truck driver.. and I was home at night.
I hated it.. I prefer to be on the road, travelling to southern California, Arizona and so on.. stopping for my 34 reset in Vegas, or other cool areas and enjoying life.
So a purchased a few trucks.. some for local Alberta work, and an old highway tractor for me to run to the USA.
With my VuCube attached to the back for DirecTV, and has a fridge, microwave, and so on.
It's sorta comfy when I shut down. sorta like home.
OH! ..and I don't have far to walk or drive to get to my "home" on wheels. :lol:
