**Ahem.. customers expecting freight of whatever kind are usually on THIER own schedule. <br /> <br />For example.. Kroger foods wants your meat load delivered onto their dock by 11 AM in some locations so they can ship that evening. If you dont make that 11 AM cut off, you are likely to lose that day, the next day and have to catch up with trying to find a load once you did get empty. <br /> <br />Ships want trucks and trains to take thier burden off. <br /> <br />I sometimes wonder how many HO Scale Precision Craft Models are on the way across the Pacific as we type this thread?
