If it can be stored on the same shelf and same bag, why should it be on the same truck ....how many truck is full on the way.

Valan, I invite you to investigate the logistics concept of the physical Internet - a way of transporting goods in standardized boxes through a network of muti-media transportation network. To that extent, a box part nof a lot, can be transported by different means, and the lot is finally grouped at the destination, like with data blocks with the Internet.
The assumption behind this kind of concept is the ability to track and trace the localisation of boxes, and then of goods, in real-time.
