Biden Raises Eyebrows with Wild Plan to Fix Supply Chain: Truckers Can Drive at Night
2021-10-15
[Western Journal] As concerns about the global supply chain loom large, people have turned to President Joe Biden for potential solutions in the United States.

However, one of Biden’s proposed solutions to resolve delays is something that already takes place: truck drivers working overnight.

"That means an increase in the hours for workers to be moving cargo off ships and onto trucks and railcars to get to their destination. And more than that, the night hours are critical for increasing the movement of goods because highways are less crowded in the evening, at night," Biden said in a news conference Wednesday.

#14  Robot trucks could drive all night, because silicon never sleeps. (unless you call sleep(), but let's try and focus)

Silliness aside, long-haul trucking is the first place I would expect self-driving vehicles. You would still need a human for the tricky bits, but driving down the highway with a low probability of hitting something is a task robots can do.

Biden mocked for claiming he ‘used to drive’ an 18-wheeler truck

He obviously misspoke. He meant to say he was the first man on the moon.

#7  Get ready for more traffic jams on an already jammed freeway system (that's infrastructure, you know) as truckers try to drive in the dark while they're asleep. As a former commuter, I can tell you with complete certainty, one jackknifed big rig can ruin your whole day.
