    Might be as far as that electric driverless truck can go
    Sorta like towns that are 100 miles apart from each other
    This was as far as a train could go before needing more coal
     
    Siinman, D.Tibbitt and gekko1323 Thank this.

    I honestly thought Puma was out of business decades ago
    But these warehouses are popping up in Florida and other places also

    This will be good for two reasons
    The guy who wants short hauls and home time can run City to warehouse and those who like Long Haul can run State to State and stay out of the big cities

    That's a really interesting take. So they are building basically a line-haul of warehouse across the country to accommodate the electric trucks that only have a realistic range of 350 miles or so.

    I wonder if this is also do to a lot of people will not go to Cali. This makes it easier for them to get it out of cali because they will go to AZ.

    It’s probably a combination of everything. There’s no warehouse vacancy in SoCal, they’re probably getting a nice tax break to build in AZ, and I’m sure the land is cheaper in AZ too.
     
    D.Tibbitt, Midwest Trucker and Siinman Thank this.

    If the load weighed 24k it would have paid $1450. Lol what can ya say. It ain't never a shortage of trucks traveling Atlanta market to Chicago market.
