An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

    This is a bit inaccurate. What about truck drivers? They are extra shitty then. But they wouldn’t be extra shitty if they didn’t deliver your Charmin to Costco for you to purchase.

    Don’t blame the end-user, blame the system.

      Short range point to point trucking (day trucking) is necessary, pretty much any other truckload is better taken by rail both faster and cheaper in countries other than the US because oil companies didn’t intentionally kneecap American rail.
