    I mean they could

    A barrel is 42 gallons.

    A 4 trailer road train can carry up to 32,000 gallons.

    Oil tanker can be 70,000 barrels plus.

    Which is let’s say 3 million gallons.

    So it would take a single road train about 94 trips or 94 road trains 1 trip.

    So they just need a road that may or may not exist and a couple thousand trucks and about 4 times as many trailers.

      The “plus” is doing a lot of work here. Oil tankers can be up to several million barrels.
