Although Triple Crown is a competitor of mine, I have to say that they have created a good network (with some great people in the organization.) They have set up a well defined series of lanes, they sell a lot of volume in those lanes, run their dedicated trains on a good schedule. It runs as a system, but road railers have some limitations that might hamper their ability to move to wide-spread use. They work best in dedicated trains, or have to be at the rear only of another train. They require a special terminal to handle them (yeah, it a pretty basic facility, but not that many ramps are set up like a Triple Crown ramp.) One knock on the trailers is that they are heavier than a duraplate trailer. That means less cargo weight can be put into the box. Now if you ship big, bulky auto panels that are not that heavy, like many Triple Crown customers, that's not a problem. If you ship heavier stuff, where weight, not cube space is the issue, not so good then. Also, that tongue on the front of a TCSZ trailer can wreak havok when parked in a drop lot with a row of other trailers. It sticks out and if you back into it, you ma***he back of your cab. They have a place and I think they are filling that place nicely.
