Nobody is stopping trucks on the interstate. You could easily have one human minder escort 12-15 trucks outbound truck and a minder escort inbound trucks and spend most of the time on the interstate. Instead of a dozen drivers x 3 days you could use 1-4 hours of human labor total.
Imagine a system were one driver could transport hundreds of trucks worth of cargo at once on preset routes. What an invention that would be…
In the context of this discussion, switching to trains isn’t really going to address the idea of people raiding the cargo haulers, in whatever shape they’re in.
You’re right, but it’s because stealing cargo isn’t an issue. Trains are just a much safer and efficient method of transportation that also requires very few people.
Yes we know trains exist trucks are used in addition for obvious reasons that won’t stop being true when we dont need drivers
