A lot of people make this case that you can go X distance without stopping. But that's completely impractical. There are many laws that regulate the trucking industry. For example you can only drive 11 hours consecutively, and then you're required to spend at least 10 consecutive hours not driving. There are also more rules about having to take breaks after a certain number of hours, and limits on number of hours per week they can work.
So if you're following the law, you will end up having to stop anyway. And as charging tech improves that stop will get shorter and shorter until it's no longer a concern. And again, once people see the economics of it and see how much money is being saved, they'll gladly trade off a little bit more time waiting for charging if necessary.
