Damn, this industry is decades behind the times, even RV's have better systems than truckers, that or the industry really does not want to invest the cash in technology, but would rather have drivers suffer.
Hell they could place solar panels on the top of every trailer and power NYC and LA right now !!!
It is high time for a truckers national strike, END OF STORY, the industry is ass backward to say the least !!!!! :angryblue: issedoff:
Trailers need to be light weight to allow more freight. Solar panels aren't light.
Trailers need to be low cost to allow a better profit margin. Solar panels aren't cheap.
Maybe for a solo operation where you're hauling light-weight freight all the time, sure, that'd be a great idea. But when it comes to the trucking industry in general, solar panels covering the trailer roof just isn't going to happen.
