I would imagine that somebody is already working on it, but what USSE needs IMHO is a contract with someone like UPS, Old Dominion, JB Hunt, or Covenant trucking to start running 100 short-haul trucks dispatched out of their HQ-based fleet on Biofuel. As fuel and maintenance savings are validated for the shorter (..out & back the same day..) routes that preclude needing to be refueled on the road, it will be easy to get some of the nationwide truck stops like Pilot, Flying J, Petro, or Sapp Bros. to start carrying Biofuel for the OTR long-haulers.

Ag equipment fuel sales to farmers via Co-ops should be a no brainer. Diesel or oil-fueled boats and ships could fuel up right there at the USSE soy bean receiving terminal to start with. Having some MS and LA tugs and barge-pushers run on Biofuel for a test period should light up a lot of lights in all the other Mississippi and Ohio River terminals and seaports around the USA.

The object is to keep it local, convenient, and under control to start with...........
