What truckers need is a trailer without wheels aligned in different directions (according to a Cummins study on optimum fuel economy).
I don't know how many intermodal trailer bases I've seen with wheels that looked like a cartoon clown car. Getting wheels that don't wobble and are properly aligned is a good start, but hard/impossible to implement.
Tractor owners often pick up what ever is next on the list. No say in the matter. Paycheck or not. Efficient or not. Alignment is key.
