Who Makes America’s Semi-Trucks
Trucks play an integral role in American business and life. About 39 million registered trucks move nearly three-quarters of all freight by weight, grossing about $875 billion in revenue. Four manufacturers dominate the market, but Daimler Trucks, holds about 40% of the total market share largely because of its Freightliner brand. These companies are mass producers of custom vehicles. Freightliner’s paint catalog, for example, has more than 3,000 shades of the color white. But the business is changing, as upstarts boldly promise to deliver electric semitrucks and autonomous driving systems. But some industry analysts say that currently there is not a clear business model for a lot of these innovations.

All of America’s truck factories are unionized. For that reason, their products are twice as expensive as equivalent trucks made in Mexico.
So this video isn’t really about the trucks. It’s about “union quality”. Unions have to sell on quality, because they can’t sell on price.
Mexican prices for everything from dental work, to pharmaceutical drugs, to vehicles are carefully hidden. If Americans could compare prices, then the unions would collapse.

Some states like Nevada allowed heavier maximum allow weights for electric vehicles 82,000 pounds instead of 80,000 lbs. Removing the diesel engine, transmission, radiator, and loaded fueled tank can reduce the weight by about 5,000 pounds. In conventual diesel trucks over 85% of class 8 trucks fill up by volume before they reach the 80,000 weight limit.

I remember When GM, Ford and Dodge made Class 8 Trucks. Years ago I know GM got out of it in the 1987. Ford got out of It in 1998 or 2000. I think? Dodge got out I
If it in the mid 1970’s.

Infrastructure is the pinch point for EV’s whether car or truck. It’s also hypocritical to push EV’s in America when 65% plus of electric is via coal burning. In France for example 85% of electric is nuclear generated. Several good and challenging points are made in this story.

Edison motors makes a diesel hybrid truck for logging. It gets twice the fuel economy of a regular diesel and is more durable. If you look at the front bumper on the trucks here, they're like mince meat. Check out Edison motors, it's well worth the investigation.

The big thing about electrification is we really are still in the early days. We've still only really just begun building basic infrastructure to support it. Most importantly though, is battery technologies and the price per kwh has been changing dramatically over the last 2 decades this trend will continue because there are hundreds of companies and universities across the planet researching and developing dozens of different battery technologies. They are doing this because they know who ever can develop a battery that is significantly superior to today's options will have an intellectual property worth at least billions. Eventually, the storage capacity per unit of weight and the respective costs is going to improve greatly from where it currently stands.
We are not there yet, but there will come a day where diesel just will no longer make sense in most use cases. Probably the greatest challenges for this tech in logistics are team drivers who keep a truck running almost non stop for days at a time as well as truckers who spend a lot of time in very cold weather–current battery tech does not favor very cold conditions.
True autonomous trucking is probably still more than a decade or two from really becoming common however, it probably will happen at least for major cross country hauls that stick to i-10, i-40 and i-80 with complicated last mile still being handled in traditional day cabs by locals for quite some time. This much will likely happen as quickly as truck companies feel it is viable though because the big players run through literally hundreds of employees every single month to make these sorts of drives, it's just unreliable and unsustainable–instead of improving conditions to increase retention they'll leap to this tech, asap for those long, lonely interstate drives. Then of course, some special areas of trucking such as loggers will probably remain highly resistant to such technologies for a very long time–there are just too many non-standard choices these drivers have to make to account for in these autonomous algorithms in the near future. It is also important to note that once one major company such as JB Hunt, Knight-Swift or Schneider does it, *nearly all the rest will quickly fall in line, they'll have no financial choice in the matter.
PS: If it matters I have 6 years Over The Road (OTR) experience in the 48 but, I've left that sector and now work as a science teacher in South Korea at an international school.

For a few months now I have been searching tirelessly for information on how to start investing. I even payed $1000 for a course that I now regret. It appears that there is no structured guidiance for beginners on how to get started in this realm. I've come across several investors making well over $250k/annum and would be grateful if anyone on here could provide insights on how to get started, identify potential stocks, when to make an entry, exit etc.
