I have no desire to vilify truckers. It is as noble and important profession. That said, everyone is replaceable in an industrial capitalist system. No single person is going to be crucial to the operation of our economy.
Obviously union or other cooperative movements try to combat this such as the protest convoy. Never the less, self driving trucks are not a distant technology, they are being tested on roads right now, and the largest manufacturers of these vehicles have advanced orders in the 10s of thousands.
These folks are important now, but they will be important like the quarter horse. This is a ramble post already so what the hell. It will be interesting to see if we get a trucker esq ludite movement in 4 years.
