Heating Truck Hot Flash

There are about 1,000 home heating trucks in New York City. Each is inspected at least once a year. Even with an increased monitoring program, fewer oil trucks are being caught cheating customers out of expensive home-heating oil. Could it be that heating companies are suddenly becoming warm-hearted towards their customers by supplying an honest delivery or are they just feeling the heat from government checks? Through July 1st of last year, 64 trucks were pulled out of service compared to 95 during the same period the year before. In most cases, faulty equipment was to blame.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This blog is a quick comment on an older New York City news headline. Unforeseen NYCo site development delays prevented it’s publication before now. For readership continuity, 100’s of older headlines are to be posted in chronological order until this blog is current. Though some of the stories may no longer be as relevant as they once were, they remain interesting news items worthy of this site’s mention and viewer comments.
