For starters you could invent a truck that can sprout wings..

 

Actually that's not a bad idea to incorporate lift into a truck. If you could do it in a controlled setting, you could cut the truck's weight in half and still maintain control. Or trucks could haul double the weight. Then highway construction could be cut in half and save the country billions. Problem is it would take skilled drivers. Something the industry is currently lacking.

I had repeated dreams as a kid about trucks that could fly. That's a little far fetched, but you shape the trucks aerodynamics similar to a wing or have little 3'-4' retractable wings.

Some inventions come from wild ideas.

 

It's bad enoufgh now with 100mph dispatchers!

I know both are impossible !!!

 

C-130 is a flying truck.

Current version can carry near 50,000lbs of cargo.

So it has been built.

 

Have the lift is based on speed. Design it where it didn't begin until 65 mph or have the brakes instantly disrupt the lift.
Yes there would greater stopping distance and would require a special driver.

It's fun to dream though.
