Some may believe the move to cleaner transportation will leave out owner-operators and small fleets because the costs of alternative vehicles and clean diesel trucks are prohibitive. But the zero-emission movement isn’t leaving out small businesses.
Last week, along with folks from Daimler and Cummins, I participated in an event for Amazon where we got to speak in front of owner-operators and small fleets about these very topics.
Moving goods in North America has always involved a huge number of small businesses. Based on that, I think it is way too soon to count out small fleets and owner-operators simply because trucking is moving into a more sustainable future.
