Having been on a lot of them I can tell you that it doesn't make sense for everyone. Some shippers are content to wait a week as long as it shows up on the day it is supposed to. Some want fast and TC can do that. It is more expensive and it still needs a special facility. The advantage a truck offers is that it can go from one door to another without having to go to a yard to be put on a train. We used to die all the time in the Ft. Wayne terminal due to delays on the road or having no operational EOTs or not getting clearance to move. If you have a problem out on the road you just can't set off the offending car like any other train. A carman has to come out a fix it. It hurt me to think that Ford was paying top dollar for this train to just sit. It would be better to have one train with all one destination on a through run and not swap blocks. Some of them do and most swap in Ft. Wayne. But if everything goes right they are a fun train to be on.
