Can't they convert gas engines to run NG? So I was wondering if long haul trucks might be making that change now with NG so cheap?

I believe they can, but it's not cheap. Right now I think they're mostly buying new trucks, and mostly for the local work so they can fill up each night at the terminal. I'm not sure it's possible to take trucks cross country at this point without the refueling infrastructure. I just got back from a 1600 mile road trip and didn't notice any signs for NG at the gas stations; then again I wasn't really looking for them.
