>>1755648>massive benefits to supply chainsIt's unclear to what extent or even whether road freight actually outperforms rail freight for medium distances, it's entirely possible to operate medium and even short distance rail freight operations, as they do in Switzerland. I'll grant that for things like local delivery trucks are pretty good.
>save on where you liveFor the tradeoff of having to pay for an auto loan, gas, auto insurance, maintenance, and any other associated fees depending on where you live (e.g., registration fees, maybe parking depending where you are). I'm a big fan of having nearly $10,000 more per year in my wallet because I don't own a car.
>saves you time on errands[citation needed]. I live a short 5 minute walk from my grocery store and it happens to be on my way to and from work, it's absolutely not clear that owning a car here would benefit me.
>saves you money by giving you a valuable tool to complete tasks that are expensive to hire someone else to doThis sounds like gish-gallop. Are you talking about buying a bunch of planks and hauling them back home in your truck? I have never in my adult life needed to do something like this.
