Bet that semi trucks are more expensive due to road damage and congestion alone.
I've already commented on road damage, but yeah, trucking firms bear no costs for the congestion and other road hazards they bring with them. Society, as is so often the case, sucks up those externalities.
Efficiency, pollution too (even when electric, because tires and break dust are a thing)
Yes, but that’s all subsidized by taxpayers, so it’s more expensive overall but cheaper for YOU.
Privatize gains, socialize losses. The Capitalist^TM^ way!
