More than 80% of freight is currently transported by truck. The population growth (hence, demand for travel) and emerging global adoption of just-in-time approaches to ship and deliver goods made interstates and other major roads congested with increasing truck traffic. Based on current trends, it is expected that transportation of freight by truck will increase from 13.2 billion tons in 2012 to 18.8 billion tons in 2040.
