Maybe in the first several years. After that the technology will mature and maintenance won't be needed that often. And if there is a problem the truck can stop at the roadside, like in case of a failure today, and call for help.
I guess logistics companies will keep teams on the road which can respond quickly if a self driving truck has problems.
