I heard Tesla wants approval to build their tractors 12’ wide? That will shorten the wheelbase, so they can pull 60’ trailers, in all states.

Automated vehicles navigate via the paint stripes on the road . "I learned this from working on the striping crew for MODOT ". ( After being laid off from YRC for the 4th time) . So ,what will happen on I-80 when it snows ? Or any other road for that matter ? Bull SH!T !

I saw an article yesterday where a bird crapped on one of the drive sensors & a human had to take over as the rig shut down.

Wonder what the lawsuit payout will be when they hit somebody?

The Carolinas already have approval for 12' wide tractors if your CDL is issued on casual Fri and has a duplex or triplex endorsement.
The Hummingbird Article prevents N J Residents from using his provision.

Does Scranton have a boardwalk?

Does Scranton have a boardwalk?

2 lane ones. Can accommodate passing 102 wides, as long as they are 13’6” high. ( state regulations)

 

[Triplex]

Only tramcars and rickshaws allowed on the boardwalk.
Pay to play.
And you can't afford to compete with them.
It might cost you your life.

While I am not in favor of it, autologous trucks are coming in some form.
Have you seen Chat GPT Ai, it is amazing? That is just the start..
Once Ai is more commonplace we will see driverless trucks and it will become normal.
My guess is we will always have final mile drivers, but longhaul or line drivers will be much far fewer.
The times are changing.....
