Uber started as a limo company, competing with specially licenced drivers working for small businesses. They are into that market. I see this as comparable to what they will do to the trucking industry.

it seems that in the long term their low cost option is going to be autonomous trucks, e.g. https://www.wired.com/2016/10/ubers-self-driving-truck-makes...
