Not expecting anything big from this Convoy...
Compare to the recent 9/11 motorcycle ride. A bike might need a couple of gallons of fuel to get from wherever to DC... cost to typical biker less than $30, plus tolls.
For an 18-wheeler, my search is turning up 6 MPG at best. Diesel is, what, $4/gallon? THat’s gonna add up to mucho dollero! For each 500 miles to travel, that’s $335 per truck
And, to top that off, a BIG CUT of the purchased fuel to make this convoy is.... GOVERNMENT taxes!
And not just the cost of travel, but the revenue lost for the days getting there and back from where they started.
