It is obvious to me that FB pay for info from other companies. Some other have mentioned clues that would indicate that this link probably came from Ancestry.com. When I was dating last year, I would get recommendations for women that I had met and went out with from dating websites. For the most part, the recommendations were for women that I didn't actually end up dating (the vast majority of them).
I thought that maybe the women had been checking out my background, but now I'm not so sure.
Those trucks also tend to be worn out, repurposed road trucks. A large house will have about 16k lbs of stuff. Most will be between 4 and 8k, from my experience. And the truck will not run much, and won't be pulling hard when it does. People don't want to pay much, so the profit margins are also really thin. You won't see many new trucks moving household goods. A mover will just buy a worn out road truck and paint it.
I don't know what it looks like in the EU, but a decent truck stop in the US might have a hundred trucks lined up. Fueling a truck takes 10 minutes max, and there would be dozens of pumps to fill them in parallel. To get all these trucks charged while the truckers had their 45 minute stop, you'd need a substation on the property.
You'll need to add the taxes wrapped up in fuel costs that the electric will be charged separately.
It used to be that Alabama would stop you at the state border and if you didn't have a receipt for at least $50 of fuel, they'd charge you for the taxes right there.
A missing piece of that calculation is that a large part of that fuel cost is road tax (at least in the US). That money is specifically earmarked for road building and maintenance. An electric vehicle STILL owes that tax for their share of the use of the road, and you can bet your bottom dollar that the tax man will get her money. ( I hope that you saw what I did there, SJWs.)
And yet, most dock yard have a specially designed yard tractor for moving trailers around the dock. The cost and safety savings are enough to use a few of these instead of full sized tractors.
He's not making it magical. The mine is at the top of the mountain. The trees are at the top of the mountain. The stuff to be moved is already up there and needs to be brought down. There is nothing to take up there for the most part, because it is just a mine or a forest, but big loads to bring down.
Regenerative braking would charge the battery on the way down, and you'd probably want to start up the mountain with half a charge to take advantage of it.
Hmm. I've had to pay for an engine overhaul. A battery replacement, with a trade-in, is likely to be cheap compared to the labor of an overhaul. Then there is oil changes. 5 gallons of engine oil is not cheap, and god help you if you spring a leak. I've known a guy that got a fuel tank ruptured. A hundred gallons of diesel kerosene running into a stream carries a big cleanup bill with it. Then you have to dispose of the used engine oil. Back in the day, dockyards would have burners to heat the building with used engine oil. I think those were so dirty that they were eventually outlawed.
When I started working for RTC, they were trying to teach us a complicated way for a team to switch drivers and log time such that the truck never had to stop. I was a sole owner/operator, so I didn't pay that much attention.
You'll need a nominal 400 mile range. That gives the driver a regular route of 4 hours out, and 4 hours back. Over a three year period, my logs book tended to average out to about 50mph, but that was quite a while ago.
These hub systems tend to be set up so that a driver goes out, drops the trailer then comes back with another. The routes are set up to keep the driver under the limit of 10 hours per day, i.e., about 4 out and 4 back, so that they don't have to pay the driver a per diem.
Lightweight, flexible solar cells would also significantly increase the range.
Having worked in a dockyard, that may not be too unrealistic. Those trailers spend a LOT of time sitting idle. Providing a bus bar that with capacitive coupling plats that the yardman can back the trailer up to, combined with the PV cells covering the trailer will provide a nice easy charge for the battery.
The trailer has to have a roof regardless. Panels can be made much thinner and more flexible than the heavy rigid plates you see on rooftops.
Carrying the battery in the trailer instead of the tractor is the answer. Trailers spend a lot of time parked in a dockyard. Most operators are heavy on trailers and light on tractors. Queuing them up by charge status would be a simple update to the scheduling software. They are generally satellite tracked already.
Converting the rubber bumpers on the side of the docks to capacitive couplers for slow charging would also help.
You're last line will be the ultimate solution. In the end, the battery will stay with the trailer....at least most of it will. The traditional hauler has a hub and spoke system. A driver picks up a trailer at one depot, and hauls it to the next, where he unhooks from that trailer and hooks up to another, which he hauls back to his home depot. The depot is just a large, covered platform.
In the future, the platform will be covered in solar cells. Each trailer will be covered in solar cells. This will be a good financial move on the operators part, because a large fraction of a solar installation is in the storage batteries. Each trailer will have a large battery. Each tractor will have a small battery (just enough to bobtail it short distances and move from trailer to trailer in the dockyard). Currently, the driver has to connect two pneumatic hoses. This will require the connection of an additional electric line (which can have digital communication capacitively modulated onto it), and the ground line will easily run through the kingpin. The trailer will be charged from the dock with capacitive coupling (they tend to be there for hours while they are loaded and unloaded). A motor will be added to the trailer axle, to recover braking energy and relieve some of the stress from the tractor's motors.
A quick scan of the (long) article that Vagg commented on reveals why the SJWs are so upset. The article is a direct attack on their worldview. The TL;DR version of the article is that people think differently, and the speech codes that have come into vogue at universities therefore discriminate against specific minorities. WTF is a self-flagellating SJW to do when the fight to uphold the victimization of ever smaller sets of imagined minorities ends up victimizing a minority? The cognitive dissonance must be so debilitating that they can't get away from it even in their safe space echo chambers.
Would some possible contributors be driven away if they saw that Vagg was driven away by over zeaouls SJWs? I know I'd rather not deal with grandstanding jerks that would reject my code submission because they can't deal with my worldview not necessarily agreeing with theirs. I've got better things to do with my free time.
And yet, I rode a vehicle to work today that is so dangerous the law requires me to wear a helmet. I saw two other people on the road on my way in riding the same sort of vehicle.
How much do you think it takes to put a web interface on the front of a database? The cost is more than made up by relieving citizens from occasionally having to drive into the center of town, and then having a person to search through archives to retrieve a record.
Really? Where I work, the company owns the email system and can look at anything anytime they like.
If I spend company dollars, I better have a receipt.
If I sign a contract with a third party to do work for the company, they want a copy and I better damn well run it past legal.
Why would we have government employees needing to run everything past legal? Do they not know their jobs? If if something is extraordinary, like a third party contract, why aren't they ALREADY running it past legal.
You had the option of always communicating with the middle manager via email. We should not have government workers running their own email servers out of their basement in order to avoid oversight from their employers.
I was working a dock in Greensboro, NC before college, and had to load rolls of carpet that night. The forklift had a 20ft steel poll sticking out that was slid down the center of the 4ft high roll. I had to sit way back in the seat to get enough weight on the rear tires to steer. The trailer did not line up with the dock, but was about 6in higher. I had to get a running start to get up the slight ramp, and when I hit the top, precariously balanced on the front wheels, the forklift was bucking as hard as any bronco ever had.
The trailer was level with the dock by the time I was done. That was a fun night.

It's called a broker. You'll find one at most truck stops.
