How do you synchronize multiple trucks? One company wants their truck to leave at 6pm so something will be available the next morning. Another nearby needs to wait till 6:30 before they're ready to leave. Where's the train?

Perhaps trains would form spontaneously as automated trucks encountered each other? You can't plan it too tightly because one might be late. So it sounds like every truck will still need a driver ready to be the leader or on their own.

Keep in mind that one reason trucks are so much more popular than rail trains is their flexibility. One by one as they're ready and different start and end points each.
