Great, does that mean we will see wind powered Swift truck sitting around blocking traffic even worse than they do now when the wind stops blowing?

It was a joke. Don't you swift drivers (and Chatty Kat) get all bent out of shape.

Could you cover the roof of refrigerated trailers with solar panels to get power to keep 'em cool? I guess you would have to keep the desiel power as a back-up. You may not have enough solar power on a cloudy day.

I know it sounds like a crock but the truth is T Boone Pickens has signed on several sponsors and Swift is one of them. I believe all trucking companies should sponsor someone who is trying to help us all escape from the clutches of big oil and the middle east. Biofuel is a way...wind and solar are just a part of the plan. Transport Topics Online | Trucking, Freight Transportation and Logistics News | Diesel Jumps 13.1¢ to $2.221; Gas Tops $2
