Alexander is correct. All modes of transportation provide coast to coast service without interchange to another carrier except railroads. All truck, both LTL and truckload, air freight, airlines, UPS, Fedex are all coast to coast with a very very small per cent of LTL truck freight interchanged to serve very small rural areas in the west US. The shippers are dealing with only one carrier for all their shipments and they prefer that one carrier concept and not interchange between carriers. <br />We have 4 large railroads which would merge into 2 transcon rail carriers. I wish we still had Conrail and SP , so then there would be 3 transcons instead of just 2.
