If you model a public distribution warehouse (versus a private one) that leases space to a variety of manufacturers you then have the possibility of having a lot of different types of cars unloading and loading at the building, as well as loading trailers. The list of items being handled at the warehouse is endless. <br />Having worked at a distribution warehouse and having a neighbor in the next building who is the major bleach maker inthe U.S., it was interesting to see how they handled the bleach. Bleach is heavy and the most economical way to ship the product is in a tank car. The tank car arrives at the building and the product is pumped into the building to filling lines. The product is bottled, packaged and shipped out the door via trailers to deliver to stores for retail sales. Liquid drain cleaner is handled the same way.
