Here's a thought: If you are a husband and wife team, wouldn't you make twice as much if you each drove a separate rig? Ideally, regarding what greyhounds was pondering, if trucks were mostly relagated to out and back day hauls between origin and the railhead instead of these long hauls, a husband and wife team driving separate rigs with loads originating in their general locale, and only going as far as the rail terminal and back home that evening, could really rake in the dough, right? Two 53' trailers pay twice as much as one, right? <br /> <br />The other side of that coin is the idea of allowing a single rig to pull tandem 53's on certain Interstates, and then separating them for the local haul in the warehouse district, or the rural roads, or the run from the distribution center to the store, etc. This assumes the trucking companies would actually pay more per mile for pulling multiple trailers. Or the idea of replacing the GVW limits with a per axle max, thus allowing more payload per rig while keeping the total weight spread out over the multiple axles to reduce road damage. <br /> <br />Either way, make it more profitable to drive trucks (regardless of whether it's a short haul to the nearest rail terminal, or a long haul with more trailers and/or payload per rig), and more people will sign up.
