Unscramble the Blue Letters
The global slpupy chain is roughly boerkn up into what we call modes. By far the lsregat mode is what we call full turckolad. That is around a 400 billion-dollar-a-year mode in the US and in theory is the most efficient way to move freight. But about half of the big trucks you see on the hwaghiy, they're only running half full. If half of those trucks are only half full we burn the same amount of fuel, the same anmout of diesel, create the same amount of greenhouse gas to run a truck half full as we do completely full.

Original Text
The global supply chain is roughly broken up into what we call modes. By far the largest mode is what we call full truckload. That is around a 400 billion-dollar-a-year mode in the US and in theory is the most efficient way to move freight. But about half of the big trucks you see on the highway, they're only running half full. If half of those trucks are only half full we burn the same amount of fuel, the same amount of diesel, create the same amount of greenhouse gas to run a truck half full as we do completely full.
