Why do they bother hauling goods by road if it takes days, and they have railroads and inland waterways?

  I'm guessing here, but maybe it's because road transport is a flexible and free market, and railroads are anything but that.

    Exactly. The rail is a state monopoly, with prices and turnaround times worse than truckers.
