Great reading. I won't cover seeing the last truck as I rolled into Bouston one day in 2012. Ruining an oilfield spec 367 Pete with big Cummins.

Then about a year ago, seeing Phils famous trash can intake coming up on me in yet another oilfield Pete, an outrageous Cat under the hood. East of Monahans

As Old Mech sez, it's inspiring. My truck and trailer set for now (I'm OTR in a 660 KW, a great truck; yet another never to be aero pneumatic trailer), but I have those miles to think on reducing costs on my rig. Traveling and stationary.

Using the awesome engine cooling fan again? It's hard to explain to others the power draw when already down a gear on an ascent and it kicks in.

Awesome projected hybrid combo numbers. You'll want to challenge Bruce Mallinson to an uphill drag race, ha!!
