140,000 ton x 2000 lbs x 8000 Btu = 2.24 10^24 Btu of wood
12 million x 130000 Btu = 1.56 10^12 Btu of diesel

1.56 / 2.24 = 69%  efficiency

To get an idea of the amount of fiber:
140,000 / 20 ton (triaxle truck) = 7000 loads per year
7000 / 365 = 19 loads a day. Green wood would be more. Not counting the 
wood needed for the lumber.
But those are baby log trucks compared to Michigan's trucks with pup 
trailers and 11 axles. No idea how much they can haul in Denver.
