I could care less about that company, but they have definately stepped up during this disaster. If I were in their position 3 truckloads of water would have been the best thing to donate, more valuable than money in this situation, and they get turned away?
Allowable payload is 40,000 lbs correct? So that would be roughly 5,000 gallons of water per truck. I doubt Wallmart pays more than .25 per gallon, but let’s just say they had smaller packaging than a gallon, ect. ect. and paid $.50 per gallon add $500 for gas. So we have $3,000 dollar donation, per truck, $9,000 total.
Small, small donation that is worth more than it’s weight in gold. And honestly I was expecting a carvan of Wallmart semi’s to roll across the screen, just to unload pallets and pallets of water.
Why would they turn that away? Just to prove that they could do it themselves?
