## Canonical Q&A Corpus
[
  {
    "id": "direct-to-site-vs-staging",
    "question": "Don't solar farms already have their own laydown yard on site? Why use Trucking.Solar?",
    "answer": "Yes - utility solar farms have a graded laydown yard inside their perimeter fence, so over 80% of our shipments roll Direct-to-Site into scheduled 45-minute telehandler gate slots. Off-site Port FTZs, Border Customs Yards, and Paved-Highway Buffer Pads are used strictly in three situations: (1) clearing ocean containers at Houston/Savannah before $300/day port demurrage starts, (2) cross-docking 3 partial vendor shipments into 1 sequenced Inverter-Block Kit, or (3) holding 80,000-lb trucks on paved asphalt when >20mm of rain turns unpaved county access roads into mud."
  },
  {
    "id": "three-constituents",
    "question": "Who are Trucking.Solar's three core constituents and what problem do you solve for each?",
    "answer": "1. Solar EPCs, Developers & OEM Shippers: We eliminate $30,000/day crew starvation, $300/day port demurrage, spring-ride bifacial micro-cracking (<2.0G Air-Ride enforcement), and bare-chain zinc damage (4-inch nylon straps + 4x4 dunnage). 2. Port FTZs, Border Customs Yards & Buffer Hubs: We accelerate dock turns with our 30-second WhatsApp SkidPassport and generate cross-dock revenue via 3-vendor Inverter-Block kitting. 3. Flatbed, Conestoga & 3-Axle RGN Carriers: We pay carriers on their empty Permian oilfield and US-Mexico border repositioning dead-legs, guarantee 45-minute telehandler unload slots, and book paid outbound backhauls hauling empty steel cable reels or hail-damaged panels."
  },
  {
    "id": "starter-midway-enterprise",
    "question": "How are Trucking.Solar's Starter, Midway, and Enterprise tiers structured?",
    "answer": "Starter ($0 platform fee + spot load rate) provides the free 30-second WhatsApp SkidPassport (+1 / +52), 4-digit Telehandler Gate Pick Code, and same-day dead-leg rescue dispatch. Midway ($4,250/month + corridor rate) adds 3-vendor Inverter-Block kitting (BlockKit), 14-day mud/wind paved buffer holds, and live Procore / Primavera P6 / X12 EDI 856 sync. Enterprise ($12,500+/month or turnkey 300MW+ MSA) adds full 1,000+ load schedule slotting, 3-Axle RGN substation/BESS heavy-haul, and closed-loop outbound backhauls for empty steel cable reels and hail scrap."
  },
  {
    "id": "dead-leg-arbitrage",
    "question": "How does Trucking.Solar deliver white-glove solar project logistics using dead-leg arbitrage?",
    "answer": "Every day, heavy-spec 53-foot Air-Ride flatbeds and step-decks finish delivering oilfield pipe in Odessa/Midland or industrial steel at Laredo, El Paso, and Nogales, then deadhead 250 to 450 miles empty right past utility solar builds. Our phone desk verifies those empty trucks via a 30-second WhatsApp Air-Ride and nylon-strap photo check, delivering full-spec EPC service while eliminating wasted empty highway miles."
  },
  {
    "id": "closed-loop-reverse-backhaul",
    "question": "What is the Closed-Loop Reverse Backhaul on a solar farm?",
    "answer": "After our flatbed or Conestoga unloads torque tubes or modules at the solar farm's laydown yard, the exact same truck is reloaded outbound with empty refundable steel medium-voltage (34.5kV) cable reels ($1,500-$3,000 deposit recovery per reel back to Prysmian, Southwire, or Encore Wire in East Texas) or palletized hail-damaged solar panels bound for R2 recyclers like SolarCycle in Odessa, TX."
  },
  {
    "id": "mud-and-wind-physics",
    "question": "Why does 20mm of rain or 25 mph of wind shut down solar jobsite deliveries?",
    "answer": "While the solar farm's internal laydown pad is compacted, the final 3 to 8 miles of county access road and inverter-row paths are unpaved caliche or expansive clay. Above 20mm of 48-hour rainfall, an 80,000-lb truck sinks and ruts county roads, triggering stop-work orders. Above 25 mph sustained wind, 2100mm bifacial modules act as sails during telehandler/crane lifts. Our 14-day Open-Meteo radar diverts inbound trucks to paved highway buffer pads before they get stuck."
