Somewhat true but the average length of haul has gone down. With the high price of fuel it is cheaper to ship by rail, especially if there isn't...
Thanks but I'll post whatever I want about anything I want. I drove for a considerable amount of time, a lot longer than 90% of posters on here....
Welcome to the future of trucking. I can move 300 truckloads about 250 miles in one day on a train. You can move one truckload 500-600 miles a day.

Get real. There aren't even that many unions around anymore. The more the unions have declined so has the middle class incomes. If it keeps...
Come on now. I guess I would want to hear the other side of the story before commenting. We all know how cheap Roehl can be. They will do all...
Ya. I meant someone in Marshfield that planned the east coast stuff.
Aren't there east coast planners that start work earlier?
This is ridiculous. I worked there 12 years and never went to the truck until they had a load assignment for me. I lived more than two hours...
