@pezmico@mastodon.nz to be fair the logic is the heavier trucks can carry more things per trip and make less trips. I suspect 'fewer driver hours" is more important than "less diesel" to the transport industry. I have an alternative idea for increasing load capacity per driver hour, but it is not popular with the road transport industry. It's also best combined with rail capable ferries, some of those sidings they hocked off to the developers of big box retail outlets and a whole heap.of catch up on modular transport solutions to make the station to destination more efficient
