Just saw a fleet of electric trucks headed east

on I80 in eastern Iowa. The trucks were from Colorado.
Love the people helping people aspect of this country!

1. Have to give power workers a lot of credit...

After a big storm there is always a massive response, with crews from all over North America, heading into affected zones.

2. That's cool, I was just out and saw a US postal truck belching black smoke from the tailpipe

My immediate thought was, update the entire fleet to electric, hydrogen or hybrid. Start NOW.

4. That would be great, except the USPS has no money (because of the GOP).

7. My guess is the OP meant

electrical workers trucks. The standard diesel powered trucks, bucket trucks etc.

I doubt they would try sending electric powered trucks from Colorado to the east coast. It would take weeks to get there with stops to recharge them.



A conversion of the fleets would be great though.

3. Dummy me,

when I read fleet of electric trucks, I thought it was a fleet of electric powered trucks.
Americans helping Americans in time of disaster, good for them.

5. didn't realize the OP could be read like that

I shall punish myself accordingly.

6. Not your fault,

my brain shuts down on my days off. I should be the one punishing myself accordingly.
