Obviously you think it would, but I am just not seeing it.

How many humans willingly drive 24x7, with only refueling pitstops, for weeks on end? Robot vehicles could do it for months.
Instead of round-tripping the way humans with families and home bases must (even long distance truckers) a robot car can complete a delivery run and move onwards to a refueling/recharging station at the nearest distribution center and go on a further run from there. A vehicle could over weeks go from Washington state to Florida in a series of daisy-chained delivery runs, with minimal empty travel time, maximizing vehicle utilization and productivity.
