^^ Interesting thoughts.
^ No, let's prolong it a little :)
As well as pay-per-load, you've got contractors driving their own vehicles and sometimes, such as for the construction of The Shard, a continuous concrete pour takes place requiring multiple trucks to travel at speed for prolonged periods (24 continuous hours in the Shard's case!) to and from the site. A delay could jeopardise the whole operation and cost a vast amount of money.
