But the fact remains, long distance trucking is not efficient, we should be moving shit by rail, then distributing by truck.

The problem now is when the interstates were built on our dime, and trucking rates were regulated, trucking companies and owner operators could make money, so it mushroomed. But the loss of business caused the railroads to sell rolling stock, cut routes and neglect infrastructure, so they're no position to operate quickly or efficiently.

Then the trucking rates were deregulated making long distance trucking even cheaper by fucking the truckers, especially the owner operators.
