Pipelines are by far the best option for large-volume oil freight on land!

Note that it takes about 10000 trucks to carry the 2 million barrels of oil in one typical oil tanker.

I can't believe that I didn't think of a pipeline first. So... yes.

Also another argument against trucks: they consume fuel to carry fuel.
