I've run the numbers before.. and yes, you could do this. It will considerably impact the weight that a truck can pull, though. You're going to sacrifice anywhere from 5,000 lbs to 15,000lbs of load capacity depending on how much capacity you want and how much armor you're going to need (an exploding semi radial is not something to disregard).
The _real_ problem is charging capacity, especially in large depots and yards. You're going to need a rather insane tap into the grid in order to pull the current necessary to re-charge these batteries in anything less than a day, and if you can't do that, you're going to end up with a huge stockpile of batteries and a new set of logistics challenges you're going to have to absorb to make it work.
Part of logistics currently is to track fuel prices across the country, and determine based upon the trucks location the "correct" amount of fuel to put in the truck to get the best pricing given the miles needed to travel. You're going to have to re-build this entire system and track electrical rates.
Finally.. consider that some loads in this country will travel for 2,000 miles or more on a truck before being delivered. A 300 mile capacity battery is utterly ineffective for this mode. It _might_ be better suited to mid-size local delivery trucks that never stray more than 100 miles from their depot, outside of that, it's doable, but it introduces more problems than it solves.
