Title: Took some pics of this Duracell Disaster-Rescure truck at work today.
Post by: BigMike on November 04, 2014, 11:14:19 AM

The TV folks are always shooting something outside.  I looked out of my window and saw this.  I feel like I should crawl one of my tires up on the front of it.

Tell them you need to borrow it for a tow rig. That's nice

You should do a once over and tell them everything they need that they forgot.

Cool looking...but what is the point?  Do they have massive generators in the back?

When I see stuff like this, I think, "The CEO's son must have wanted something to do."

It's PR.  When a disaster like Katrina or Sandy hits, they mobilize these trucks to give out batteries and portable cell phone chargers to disaster "victims" (i.e. the unprepared).  Also, the CEO's sone probably wanted something to do.

Read an article awhile back about them. Cool trucks.
