Rail road

England Screwed the pooch with their latest Purchase. They are trying to do a JB Hunt except with Reefers. Now imagine your a Shipper that ships 45K pounds of Prduct now Englnad comes in and tell you we can only carry 42-43K in our new Containers, Shipper is not happy they then go you can still take 28 Pallets single stacked right they go nope max of 26 all double wide. Shiper goes Get those POS off my dock. It happened here. England bought 300 Containers and from what I have gathered not one of their Shioppers is happy with them.

 

Good point driver,the bigger threat is the mexican drivers entering our country. The rail system requires twice the drivers,example a driver in Ohio take a trl. into the Chicago rail yards, on the final destination say in Ga. a driver takes the same trl. from the Ga. railyard to S.Carolina. And both drivers are paid more cpm than a otr driver,and there average miles are higher also. The rail driver is home everynight or 2 days a week. JB Hunt delivered over 1 million Intermodal trailers in 2010, think about that #.
