Its not that I wouldn't prefer driving smaller trucks, but just the company I drive for, one that most people utilize directly or indirectly on a daily basis, already logs over 4 million vehicle miles a day. How many more trucks do you want on the road?

I think folks just don't comprehend the scale of commercial transportation necessary to keep them fed, clothed, sheltered, connected, and entertained.
