Part of it is the rig jobs give you a bonus to buy a truck to get to rig sites. They don’t account for all the trucks, but a good portion.
I have a truck myself, instead of a car and needing to a rent truck/trailer weekly for my work. It’s big enough for my kids and to haul most of my work stuff.
Source on the emissions? Thanks.
Edit Found a source Alberta is 5th even with the oil and gas industry tipping the scales their way.
Way safer to pull out too, way too many blind spots backing out.
I shake my head at any car/truck/van/vehicle that pulls front in into a driveway, harder to see pedestrians or traffic when backing out, but you can see everything while backing in.
Some municipalities ban tow balls when not towing a trailer atleast, so you shouldn’t see this.
