I know about the fatigue damage problem, and have advocated that higher taxes should be put on the trucks.

Anyhow, the most efficient travel for freight is by rail. But due to all the mismanagement by the government, it remains cheaper to ship by truck. You cannot really blame capitalism for that.

The failure of government is a failure of government, not capitalism.
