If the trucking cartel had to pay its way it would not simply not exist as we know it. All modes of transportation are subsidized. The real question is where to put the money. We are at a historical turning point, with the real possibility of serious fuel shortages, where dumping more money into the highway rathole makes ever less sense. When fuel prices reach $5 or $6/gallon, or more, watch the trucking cartel demand a bailout.
