If they get over-the-road trucking automated, that also trickles down to many roadside workers...gas stations, restaurants, motels, and so on. Then, some back office functions associated with routing, driver compliance, hiring drivers, etc. I'm sure there's more. It would be a big adjustment.

Not just financial either. When more people are perpetually online in an internet populated by an even larger population of bots designed for engagement, what happens?
Many of the jobs you are referring to are socially fulfilling to some people. It's an escape from a poor home situation or from an addiction.
