Not sure how the laws in the US are but most of Europe has deiving restrictions for trucks at night and weekends.

  Which is what I was thinking of making it such a boon. Drivers need breaks, commutes, limited time of driving per day.

    :) Those regulations protect the people living next to heavy routes, not the drivers. Similar to how airports cannot operate 24/7.

      Do you know what a global boon it would be if I could operate a cryptomine in your bedroom?

      >> Drivers need breaks, commutes, limited time of driving per day. > Those regulations protect the people living next to heavy routes, not the drivers. They're talking about amount of time in a driver's day spent driving, not what part of the day they drive. And those regs definitely are to protect the drivers, as well as all other involved parties and stakeholders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hours_of_service https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hours_of_service

        I’m not talking about the driver limitations but truck bans.

  In many places the interstate system late at night in the US is majority trucks. There may be restrictions in residential areas, but on a highway you can drive a truck at any time of the night on whatever day you'd like.
