Maybe not trucks specifically, but I would imagine that having the notion of mobile or temporary drone launch points would help a lot during busy times - e.g. the week before christmas.<p>I watched all the major carriers sending out multiple delivery dispatches a day through my neighborhood. To the point that the bottleneck appeared to be concurrency issues on driver time (as I tracked a few packages through the various systems).  For my family, many of the packages fell within reasonable drone parameters and a lot of them had a significant pause time at local delivery base (e.g. UPS truck loading center or post ofice). I imagine a steady stream of drones from a temporary drone base would help lighten this load. Imagine sending a semi-truck that operates as a drone base to a big parking lot, appropriately located to be in a delivery dense area. A handful of employees does piloting and battery swapping and drone loading, while a delivery truck brings packages to the temporary hub. When the busy and&#x2F;or overload time is over, the truck can go back home, or on to the next place expecting an overload. It wouldn&#x27;t take a lot of saved overtime and seasonal labor costs to make this a win.<p><i>edit:</i> I would also imagine that a lot of driver time during christmas anyway is wasted on traffic issues, part of which are compounded by them! Drones wouldn&#x27;t have this so much.
