In more ways than one. Economy goes up greatly when you can draft, particularly with large, non-aerodynamic vehicles. Autonomous vehicles don't need to sleep, either. They're not going to be electric for a while yet, though, so either truck stops will need "harbor pilots" to get the rigs in for gassing or literally every truck stop is going to have to be redesigned.

Really - it will be a boon for almost everyone. Truck drivers are barely eking by right now and while "no job" is shittier than "shitty job" there's an opportunity for the inventive and ambitious to reinvent themselves as fleet guys.
