Let me clarify - if you are operating a fleet of rigids you are probably not operating those long haul (if you are, you probably shouldn’t be!). This replaces rigid vehicles which already operate in this manor - it’s not a totally different class of vehicle. This doesn’t also mean that you wouldn’t operate a large articulated vehicle on a short-haul basis, it depends on the load characteristics. You don’t always want the biggest possible vehicle, which is why rigids exist (in cases where a driver day caps out on time or miles before vehicle capacity). But you probably aren’t operating a rigid long haul, because that load can just be mixed onto the back of a larger trunk.
