I think traveling faster requires quadraticly more energy though.
mv^2
E = ---

2The money you'd save is by not having your truck sit idle while the driver slept. You could thus deliver the same amount of freight with fewer trucks. However, trucks would wear out faster due being run for more hours per day.

That wouldn't save money. Operating actually costs money, though your total money may increase if the operation is profitable.
Reminds me of the Pony Express.
