Well until they get there we can enjoy the rising incomes because remember if it takes 15 years to a replace all of us with the self-driving trucks and that's 15 years in which the labor pool constricts and Freight rates by the law of supply and demand have to rise.
My boss literally told me that our goal is to make our money and get out because in 10 years my job and his job probably won't be there.
Self-driving trucks will be all bought up by the megas and with economies of scale they will be able to compete many of the smaller trucking companies and o/o's.
not a bad plan. But I do feel like I'm on a slowly sinking ship trying to loot the baggage compartment before the water gets over my head....

Before the smaller outfits are gone, though, they will be come 'mandatory teaming' outfits so they can compete with the self-driving trucks. That should buy them a decade. A robot truck can go 24/7, so the solo jobs in driving will be no more. It'll all be team, save for short regional and local. But to be honest, I don't think the self-driving truck will come. It'll be cheaper to use the railroads than tear up highways to put in sensors, set up the control centers to handle robot trucks, buy the robots to install in trucks and then install them, and buy the ready-to-go robot trucks from the factory. I think this 'robot truck' thing is mostly a bunch of ######## intended to scare drivers into obedience.

Its not just the trucks....its all the infrastructure. I really dont think they plan on just driving up to a Walmart DC and stopping at the gate.
