Not sure exactly what you're asking here Deron. The reason will probably differ from one train to the next, but as a general rule, most Roadrailers travel the rails at nighttime because they're picked up and delivered from and to the end customers during the daytime, when most business are open to ship and receive. This leaves the long haul on the rails to be done overnight.
