You should be able to counteract that with the fact a train can replace dozens or even hundreds of trucks (a quick google says up to 300, but I'm assuming that's an excessively long train), saving many driver hours.

I think (from my non-expert viewpoint) there's also a wider setup to make this more efficient. e.g. trucks carrying containers exist but aren't that common. Perhaps if you focused on a fleet of container carrying trucks where the containers also went on trains easily, you could make a really efficient process where you just have a crane loading truck after truck in 30 seconds each.
