    I am not sure there is any superior technology to a box truck with a nice heavy duty handcart and powered liftgate (or easy loading docks). Maybe a smaller box truck with smarter thought about what actually needs to move around, but the box truck is kind of the optimal solution to the problem of moving stuff around at a certain level. Sure it would definitely be sweet to go straight from rail to box trucks for local-ish delivery though.

      Box trucks can be too big and expensive for the task, the nearby little grocery store use a panel van for example.

        I’d argue panel van = minibox truck which goes with my smaller box truck statement.
