    i heard from a dot officer that it was pushed through congress by the railroad in order to slow down truck freight so they pick up more freight. not saying that its true just what i heard.

    fyi: Spanish is a Romance language and English is a Germanic Language. Even if they were both Germanic Languages the structure and pronunciation are still significantly different (ie English to German still isn't a 10 minute process, despite the historical link).

    I took French in high school and German in College; (notice: one Romance and one Germanic) unfortunately without practice I've since forgotten 95% of what I had learned. :biggrin_25513:

    Yes you will, but it will take a while online, it isn't fully loaded yet. Ask your company where they are at with your records. They will be able to show you.

    they may push for railroad on some stuff, but not food. It would not arrive on time!! I did see a train full of those windmill blades. Use to see them on the road. They will still have to go by truck at least local, local trucking could become overwhelmed.

    That's because even the railroad knows how shoddy their service is and they know if they put it on a truck that it will be WHERE they want it, WHEN they need it! (and probably cost less too!)
