I had a mental model of trucks going from waiting lot to waiting lot on the freeway, and going the last couple miles either by switching cabs or having local drivers take over. I think you reduce a lot of the challenge with freeway-only driving between large staging lots adjacent to industrial areas and allowing humans to do the “hard” part of the first + final mile.

In fact, the NY State Throughway already has something like this, but for a different purpose: Combining and separating double-bottom trucks (which are allowed on the Throughway, but not on many local roads around it).
