They’re working on self driving trucks to take care of you guys, don’t worry

That won't happen for a long time so good luck. And even when it does they'll have to have someone in the truck for emergencies and other things like fueling, paperwork, and securing the load for flatbeds.

That will all be handled at the base. Remote drivers will be a thing long before autonomous trucks and we arent even at that point yet

That's impossible to handle at a 'base'.

So you can't fuel the truck, complete inspections and other paper work and secure the load before sending the truck out on it's own? I fail to see how that's impossible and I'm a truck driver.

They already do remote equipment operating so I'm sure trucks arent far behind

Nah, they'll just change the tax policy to force trucking companies to outsource their drivers to immigrants.

Self driving trucks still need a driver inside in case the computer fails. Just makes my job easier.
