I’m calling bullshit. The vast majority of a truck driver’s time is spent driving. The logs are currently automatically generated in many trucks, and the bill of lading work is being tackled by two startups that I know of - I’m positive there are many more. Vehicle inspections, securing cargo, inspecting loads - all that work can be done by a much smaller workforce. Even the in-transit non-driving work could be concentrated at weigh-points where a small team of former drivers services all the driverless trucks passing through.
