Good news... dreaming of BEV Class A

Not sure, but I think the crew requirements might be less for planes hauling freight? Driver-less cars have been approved for passenger use in some areas. All my life the trucking companies have talked about how hard it is to get and keep good drivers. Of course, if the shippers and receivers treat drivers like something that needs scraped off their shoe...
I do know the crew required on trains has been reduced to the point accidents have happened...


Sorry if I offended, but when I read You'll get a ton of traffic tickets in the West Coast for this where speed limit is 55 mph. I got the impression you did not think the a vehicle should be designed for higher speeds, because the higher speeds are not allowed in one area. I think most would think that idea is crazy.

My turn to apologize. I have not provided a laughing emoticon or an LOL on my joke. I get you. My point really is a warning and a caution that West Coast has a very expensive penalties for speeding violation. I know, got not a few of them.

Trucking would likely evolve with this new technologies. In fact, we've also been kidding around with the wife that if go full time RVing we can have a converted EV semi with hauling hitch intact, then we can pull a loaded trailer in between camping destinations and make money on the sides.

Well, except veteran truckers from our church would say that the industry is brutal that they treat lesses and drivers like serfs and will blacklist anyone who decline a load and/or hardship destinations. No wonder, they are not attacking drivers despite signing bonus, free driving-school/training, etc. etc.
