Increased need, yet labor pool shrinking. Transportation costs will be rising.
I have a question on this (please forgive my ignorance):
Would the earth be better off if we went back to using trains to transport more stuff than trucks?
Truckers would still be needed - to get the stuff to the stores from the depots, but since there is a shortage of drivers - are trains more environmentally friendly?
