With all the ways and means of transportation, the heavy duty truck is still king. After all, we have cargo ships, barges, containers, airplanes, rail, bicycle couriers, and even drones. But they can only get the items so far.
It is the heavy duty truck that meets them at the dock or the railhead and then hauls it to the warehouse or wherever else.The heavy duty is what gets things to where they are needed the most.
From the inner city to the Washington lumber mills to the Canadian oil fields… Oh sure they could use a drone, but can you imagine how long it would take, one box at a time!
Importance of Heavy Duty Trucks for the American Economy
As you can see they are a key element in getting items from point A to point B. But a heavy duty truck and its driver are much more than that. As I said, they are the lifeblood of the US economy.
You might say no it is technology, or it is retail or oil or manufacturing, but you would only be partly right.People take it for granted that they go to work and they have everything they need. And when they get off work they go to the store and everything is there on the shelf. We go to the gas station and fill up our tanks.
