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
It is interesting that Flying J is involved.
Pilot / Flying J partnered with Clean Energy Fuels (T. Boone Pickens) a while back. Chesapeake and GE are also involved.

I suspect Pilot/FJ are mostly involved by providing existing stations with space for the expansion on key routes. The initial plans started with announcements from Clean Energy then added partners along the way.
I like the idea of short run trucks and especially “city” sevice vechiles using natural gas to help keep the engines clean and low maintanence.
