Have you ever wondered if what you read in the newspapers or see on television is true or accurate? Especially if it is an advertisement or a commercial, you have to wonder!
Well my wife and I were watching television a few weeks ago and a commercial came on for the Petroleum and Natural Gas Alliance. All I can figure out is that it must be an umbrella group or an industry trade association putting out their message. The spokeswoman was talking about all the great things that do for America’s energy independence, and how reliable it is (this was before the gas rig accident in the Gulf of Mexico). Then she mentioned how this industry creates 9 million jobs for America because of their efforts.
Now my wife being somewhat skeptical to begin with said, “well that’s a little hard to believe”. Of course I’m used to arguing with her, and I immediately said the spokeswoman was probably right. You see I work building all kinds of trailers (find us at www.aluminumtrailer.com) and it just so happens that we build specialty trailers.
In this case we build specialty trailers for you guessed it the Gas industry.
We have built specialty trailers for oil well drilling, for soil sampling, for the work crews, for surveying, etc. We have built specialty trailers for at least eight different companies that I am sure are part of that organization. I can say for a fact they do create jobs for America, and I am thankful that one of them is mine. So the next time you read or see something making a claim. It just might true. Happy Trailering!
