If it puts truckers out of work, so what? It sounds effing awesome.
You do realize currently the sort and long haul truckers account for maybe 3 million jobs or so, right?
Viewed another way, think of firing every Wal Mart worker in America and then double it to equal the trucking business. Say Wal Mart pays 20K a year and a trucker can earn twice that.
Some simple math
1.5 million x 20K = 30 Billion in wages for all of Wal Mart
3.0 million x 40K = 120 Billion in wages for all of truckers
Do you really think taking 120 Billion in wages out of the economy will have no effect?
