Diesel rules the roost in OTR trucking because it makes financial sense for vehicles that are on the road 8+ hours per day. If gasoline or natural gas becomes cheaper that's what they'll use. You can get all the power you need from any fuel. There's nothing magical about any of them.
When did you visit a gas station. Gas is already considerably cheaper than diesel. Try and get 500K miles out of a gasser towing. Isn't going to happen.
Watched an F-550 repo truck wind up 553,000 hard miles on its V10...it got a Jasper engine and it still in service. The truck is 12,000lbs empty and sees lots of idling, city use, PTO use, and the occasional fast getaway.
