I think your idea would be one of the best things to ever happen in the trucking industry,although after thinking it for over thirty years,I've lost interest in it.Reality keeps intruding into my plans to change the world, and a project as ambitious as you describe well exceeds my capital limits.T.Boone Pickens could do it,not anyone I know.Bummer! This Christmas season I hope to do a small scale version of a towable boat tail behind the T-100,and drag it out to New Mexico and back to test.Much effort to make that happen.We'll see.If any one truck company were to offer such a thing in the marketplace,I think the technology would explode throughout the industry.Capital has an aversion to risk,as Bondo has discovered,trying to bring his bedcover to market.Patent attorneys and retired CEOs laughed me out of my plans back in the 1980s.As they told Preston Tucker,"little boats should stay close to shore." I don't know of any corporation that has the balls to try it.
