NO TRUCKS are not perfect Railroads Airlines Pipelines Barges not perfect also.When freight is shipped overland you have two choices rail or highway.Trucks can take their time and still out run a train.What I keep reading about Railroads is they have to bust their buns to make shippers happy and make big improvments to get all truck shipments converted to all BOXCAR shipments or Intermodal.Why do shippers or all of us at that woant everything in a hurry.If I were a Funiture reciever I would perfer 60 ft or 89ft High Cube BOXCARS because I would worry about the truck with all the traffic on the highways.Trucks wreck more than Trains do.I thank your shipment has a better chance on getting their on Rails than Road that includes Intermoadel.That is my thought.
