Yeah, people are too focused on the shoulder. Your idea is doing what we do with ships today. Specialize harbor pilots get shuttled out to an incoming ship and then bring it into dock. They do the reverse when the ship leaves port. There no reason something similar couldn't be done for long haul trucking
- aetherson 3y agoBut I'm not sure how big an opportunity long haul trucking is. Rail is a good solution to going halfway across the country. Trucking is a good solution for getting from your warehouse to the store ten miles away. Long haul truckers exist, of course, and I presume make sense in the niches they exist in, but I wouldn't be surprised to find that they're a relatively small percentage of the total trucking market.
