The trucking industry is running less efficiently today than it ever has.

Long-haul drivers are permitted to drive up to 11 hours a day. An MIT study published last December indicated that the average driver in 2021 was only on the road for 6 to 7 hours. This is all being driven by excessive down time due to load scheduling problems and extended time spent at loading docks at understaffed warehouses.

Do the math. Many of those trucks you see on I-95 wouldn't need to be there if the supply chain was working more efficiently.

What math? We are surrounded by a steady stream of trucks flying down the highway using both lanes bumper to bumper. Yet theres a supply chain issue? I think its the 2 year lockdown and the walmarts of the world are just trying to restock their empty shelves.
