Great, but the guys on the end of the local delivery don't like you deciding it's all overnight work. Overnight is HARD to staff, hard to maintain employees and costs much more. The motorway traffic you see is mostly much shorter drive distancing than you think and is meant to deliver the product on the truck to an operation mostly open during the day. So the truck is still going to be on the road during the days. Or it is very specialized movement, rail is much cleaner and with modular truck and trailers cheaper than a guy and truck for thousands of miles. Rail to ship, truck to deliver.
