A truck caught on fire at the diesel pump.

Wow. Did the truck catch fire and it spread or is the truck just a casualty of the building going up?

It's always amazing to me how these trucks burn down to nothing.

And RIP trailer, as I struggle to find one.

Edit: shoulda read the article.

I think it was a "regen in progress" type of thing.

In an effort to stop global warming, they started a huge fire.

EPA logic.

I read the article after posting that. I agree with that premise. That's usually how that goes.

Even when everything works right all they do is clean the filter and dump that shit somewhere. It doesn't magically disappear. They think it does because they don't see it.

Same with electric cars. They think they're saving the earth because they aren't personally burning fuel. But nevermind the coal fired electric plant that provides the power from 500 miles away.

Out of sight, out of mind.

What in the hell did they think was going to happen?

Tornados only go thru trailer parks and Schneider yards

A Schneider yard is a trailer park.

BTW I found that satisfying. Not only because Schneider but they were spring ride.

You make a good point!
