    Here are some numbers from US DOT Bureau of Transportation Statistics:
    This should be very disconcerting
    https://www.bts.gov/content/table-1-6-estimated-us-roadway-lane-miles-functional-systema

    The chart goes back to the year 2000. the number of lane miles is actually decreasing. Other charts yield data broken out different ways.
    Here are the total number of registered tractor trailers: A 100% increase.
    1980: 1,416,000
    2020 3,143,000
    Here are the total lane miles for the last 40 years: Less than a 10% increase.
    1980 7,922,000
    1990 8,051,000
    2000 8,224,000
    2010 8,582,000
    2020 8,823,000
    And we are not even getting to how many cars and other vehicles are out there....
    It is not your imagination. You are welcome...

    Well, I don't have a dog in this fight, and mostly, aside from the dead people, I really don't care.
    That said, when I started with Conway Southern Express, the 'corporate' office was in a strip mall in Charlotte NC.
    So, you don't necessarily need a 200 acre lot to run a trucking company. Just need trucks and drivers.
