   Standard sized containers at trucks effect the size that machines loaded on   
   them can be, doubling the length, height and increasing of those containers   
   without going to specialized "oversize" flagging would make it so larger   
   machines, machine parts and    
   other things could be transported, it could be that driverless automated   
   trucks could transport these larger standard containers with minimized (less   
   than human) risk, and stay away from other drivers, also, possibly adjusting   
   velocity or idle time to    
   drive when the fewest other cars were around is possible, that would cause new   
   efficiencies at distribution   
      
      
      
   Trucks, like driverless trucks or other trucks could have weights placed at   
   the bottom of the wheelframe or carriage to make double stacks of containers   
   compatible with stability   
      
      
      
   I have seen bread trucks three containers long, double stacked containers at   
   these would make them 6 times more efficient than one truck carrying one   
   container, it could be that one or two powered wheels more at the second and   
   third trailers would make    
   it so driverless trucks could do the physics to do this harmlessly, the   
   minimal size, minimal weight one is sufficient wheels could be electrically   
   powered from the engine on the trailer-truck
