Can someone "do the math" on how long physically a line of that many vehicles would be and what kind of fuel consumption would be for that size of fleet to get say half way (assuming the full line). My guess its in the 1000s of km and more than the $5mil they raised.Quote:

50,000 trucks estimated at 70ft long (some with 53' trailer, some without, and minimal following distance) works out to about 1060km.
Apparently the current best estimate for trucks and vehicles involved headed to Ottawa is 58,748... A pile are heading up from the states as well. Just a small gathering.
For reference the distance between Vancouver and Calgary is 973 km.

So when the first truck arrived in Kenora this morning, the last truck was cruising through Swift Current...nice.Quote:

All I'm saying is I'm glad I don't have to deal with traffic in Ottawa this week.
Current location of this convoy? Any no legitimate pictures? Most news articles are using stock photos.
The unemployment problem really is getting out of hand.
It's not just one convoy 1000km long, there are multiple convoys that will meet in Ottawa
Ironic statement from a Liberal supporter.Quote:

That's because they're being suppressed and censored by the liberal media.Quote:

Fail.
I'm working with a client right now who estimates 50,000L/day in diesel consumption on a future project. That's over 300 barrels per day!
Can confirm, our grain truck has averaged 62L/100km since harvest.Quote:
