Every time I rent a moving truck I wonder how it's possible for me to rent a 26 foot truck with 5 tons of hauling capacity without a CDL. I used to work right next to a national park and HOO BOY the 30 foot Cruise America rental RVs made me more nervous than the bears or mountain lions.

The 85 year old retiree with cataracts has no concept of airbrakes, nor do they care. being a 'rv' exempts from everything.

There’s a guy David Bazan, old band name Pedro The Lion. Has a song called big trucks. It’s good. I’d subject you to my 20 year old cover of it if I could find it https://youtu.be/OzWLZtMoJrs

Do your part for the greater society. Don't fly, don't take cruises, don't drive polluting old shitboxes, sell your mcmansion with its water thirsty lawn in the desert, ride only bicycles, live in a tent, eat vegan.

Early in the pandemic, I took a mini-vacation to a cabin in the mountains near Ashville. And when I started getting into the mountains, I realized quickly that almost all of the RV drivers and people pulling trailers were doing it for the first time. That was terrifying.

Growing up in the NYC metro area, I always found it puzzling that you had to bring your car in for emission testing every year or two, but every single heavy truck was exempt from emissions testing. I mean real shitbox turbo diesel dump trucks from the 70's that just belch black smoke out as normal operation were totally cool. (this included the entire city bus fleet before they switched to hybrids) Those poor poor business owners that can't afford new trucks or literally any maintenance.

everdave posted:100% of freight rail (USA) at the moment is diesel powered. Brilliant! You have my vote. Yep, and diesel trains have about 25-35% of the emissions per ton-mile of trucks. It's also easier to improve emissions tech on them because there's more room in the carbody of a locomotive for emissions control equipment and the higher per-unit cost supports it better. It's also much easier to electrify railroads.

We will have it all worked out in no time. I’m in.

Feel free to read up on it yourselves, it's not my theory that's behind this concept. I'll get you started since 'do your own research' is lame. https://www.baltimoresun.com/me-2003-los-angeles-streetcar-history-story.html The Baltimore Sun posted:In 1945, Huntington's estate sold the Yellow Car system to American City Lines, a subsidiary of National City Lines, a Chicago-based company whose investors included General Motors and other big oil and rubber interests. Sure sounds like it was "The love of the Car" that did them in and not big business looking for money and skirting regulations. Ether Frenzy fucked around with this message at 09:39 on Jul 9, 2022 |

Our friend STR posted this in the chat and sent to me. His first or first few days of working at a Tesla factory. Drone flyover of employee parking lot and surrounding. It is like if an advanced AI took all my arguments or reasoning and created this video. It’s beautiful! And 109% terrible car stuff so it works here! https://youtu.be/zZFiTroVlRc

We used to have them, but for some reason they all got torn up. Regardless local trucking isn't as big of an issue as long haul. Of course the railroads are a mess because of profit motivated BS like PSR so some government intervention would definitely be necessary to make that sort of thing work again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1y-2CUetwM Disgruntled Bovine fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Jul 9, 2022 |

I think the video says enough, if you watch the whole thing. Anyways, we are on a dead gay forum, I presented a case and we’ve talked about it time to move on.
