“vthe 240 home one takes 18 hours per car “

Most people don’t drive 300 miles every day! Much less 900 miles a day.

Ok Fair enough, it will work for some but it sure as hell won’t work for all maybe not for most. It would not have worked for me or my wife while we working with our commute.

How many trucks operate in the U.S.?
Estimates of 15.5 million trucks operate in the U.S.. Of this figure 2.9 million are tractor trailers.

From this link:
https://www.truckinfo.net/research/trucking-statistics
Another quote from the same article:

How many miles does the transportation industry transports good in a year?
In 2006 the transportation industry logged 432.9 billion miles. Class 8 trucks accounted for 139.3 billion of those miles, up from 130.5 billion in 2005

Sixteen years later I would expect the milage to be 50% higher.

So maybe most people do not drive 300 miles per day, but there still are a hell of a lot who do.
