There seems to be plenty of incentive at the minute for companies to obtain nationwide freight licences. I can think of EWS; Freightliner; GBRF; DRS; Jarvis; FM Rail. Plus you have Road Hauliers who just borrow a haulier which W.Malcolm does with DRS out of Grangemouth. <br /> <br />Railfreight did make cash; however it has traditionally been in the heavy industry area where it has made the cash. Coal and the like. The high volume low weight sector has been traditionally the difficult section to make cash. This is not helped by a bias toward the hauliers in terms of weight (though they have had their proposals for 60 and 84 tonne trucks chucked out); and the use of space on a very low marginal cost basis. <br /> <br />You can have hauls of less than 10 miles which make cash if the tonnage supports it and the flow is structured properly. <br /> <br />Album of the Day: A Slight Case of Overbombing by the Sisters of Mercy.
