I just drove from Dayton to Chicago and was completely amazed at the number of trucks on the highway. Is there really not a better way to move our stuff around this country yet? How about this…
As a driver from Dayton to Chicago, I pull into a gas station where I’m offered a subsidized price on the gasoline I’m about to purchase if I’ll transport a secured and GPS enabled package 200 miles up I-75. I can then opt to take it further or leave it there and buy my own gas.
There are obvious security concerns, but if it was a validated organization I might be more willing to participate. I would certainly like a less expensive gas bill. The logistics of this are a bit crazy, but there must be a way to get fewer semi-trucks on the highways.
Will somebody please crowd-source freight transportation?
