Peterman, of course, was trained on the edgier I-75 corridor. He provides much more varied or even dangerous services. He exists to be USED and ABUSED at will by the most depraved truckers in America. They're generally a little more educated and cultivated; they're higher-performing truckers who want exotic experiences in life.

Needless to say, Peterman will have the advantage with the transition to driverless trucks. It's unlikely that we'll see a total elimination of drivers. Instead, convoys of several trucks will be overseen by a single driver who's there to handle errors, emergencies and unexpected obstacles.

It's not hard to see how this influences the Flying J market. The days of hundreds of truckers stopping through a single Flying J restroom every day will be gone. Doobs' endurance niche is wiped out. Peterman's niche of absolute debasement, providing any SERVICE desired, will be as strong as ever.

Clearly, this creates a time pressure on doobs to expand his territory before technological changes render him powerless to resist Peterman. Much like the German Empire was pressured to attack Russia before it became too strong to defeat, and this helped trigger World War 1, expect a truck stop offensive in the near future as doobs seeks revisions to the Treaty of Breezewood before its too late."
