Great read! And thanks to the author for all the candor.

The business case always seemed clear to me and now reading this, I wonder if there is a case to be made for an engineer and a trucking operations veteran to build a business that requires minimal capital (or maybe even is bootstrapped?!), to take it across the finish line?

There are a couple of people working on that, notably CloudTrucks.

It's not for the faint of heart - truck drivers and engineers follow a very different set of social norms. It's hard to be the hardass boss drivers don't want to fuck with while being the cuddly CEO engineers like the culture of. That might be a future blogpost.

Waiting for it. Sad but good read.
