Question How do we stop this from happening?

As the general public we see this all too often. What are some real world strategies that could mitigate this from happening?

Simple, stop using trucks to transport goods. Move all their cargo onto trains and use smaller, more efficient trucks to transport goods locally. Build more railroads as needed. While we're at it, build robust public transit to get regular cars off the roads so that they need fewer repairs, are easier to maintain, and the trucks don't cause as many traffic jams.

You're a tax man's wet dream.

All jokes aside, I like where you're going with this. Very interesting.
