Recently I read that Springfield Remanufacturing was refitting postal trucks with natural gas. This seems to be an ideal market, local delivery, central fueling opportunity and often in cities. I do see beer delivery trucks - very large very heavy because this is Dallas and beer lover territory - LOL - but it is the smaller delivery companies that seem to be the most enthused about this change.

Of course in Ft Worth all their city buses are Natural gas because they have the Barnett Shale revenues and are working cooperatively to keep supplies moving.

The buses in Arlington Virginia also run on natural gas

It is interesting that Flying J is involved. They have truck stops at roughly 200 mile intervals on the interstates all over the country. Trucks that run the interstates seem a good prospect and are sort of a captive market. Flying J is the largest seller of Diesel in the country

Flying J bankrupt and was purchased by Pilot.

Pilot is owned and operated by the family of Bill Haslam, Republican Governor of Tennessee. His college roommate was Senator Bob Corker
