Why? If you have 1000 lbs in the vehicle, you have to move an extra 1000 pounds. If you have it in a trailer, you have to move 1000 pounds plus the weight of the trailer. Plus you have extra air resistance, tire & bearing friction, etc.

A pair of draft animals can transport a heckuva lot more with a wagon than some magickly balanced load distributed on their backs.

That may be 'cause you have problems finding draft animals that come with wheels :-)
