I guess this would be the ONE case where you wouldn't want to just build a pipeline or a train and actually use trucks instead since they're less vulnerable to getting blown the fuck up, but that's you know assuming they do this dumb thing at all
The road could still be blown the fuck up, making the route essentially impassible to heavily-laden trucks.
Just make it a half kilometer wide superhighway.
Somehow, The Line returned.
a truck could still conceivably drive around a crater and it's easier to have an engineer corp build a makeshift bridge (maybe not for 10000 trucks per day) than lay a new rail or build a new pipeline (plus I feel like a broken pipeline large enough to circumvent the need for the strait of hormuz would dump a shitload of oil)
i'm not pro plan truck here I'm just saying my first thought was "why not pipeli- oh, wait"
It depends on the offroad terrain, because heavily-laden oil trucks aren't exactly as maneuverable as jeeps in commercials. If it's all plains or something then sure, but you only need one chokepoint along the entire route to choke it.
