Odd sentence, ain’t it, but also like half the reasoning why people keep buying ever bigger cars and trucks.
The other half is “some other schmuck thinking this will snuff me out”, which, fair, but how do you not arrive at the conclusion the eternal arms race of weight and height with cars is like, super bad?
So what you don’t understand is that they need these trucks for hauling. It’s just that every time you see them empty they’re on the way to/from a haul. It seems improbable but it’s true!
I love that even if this was the case the actual area for cargo is the one thing that’s managed to shrink over time.
