greyhounds... i'll chuckle in amusement as you talk about tolls. lol. for work i'd have to go up 55 to first ave. unload, go south(east) on the ryan and over to gary across 80. once i figured my way around town i started taking the skyway $10.40 to go 10 miles. it was a straight shot to where i had to go and there was NO traffic going outbound and saved me at least a half hour or more. it was a ginormous stress relief and there was a mcdonalds on the way. so the story goes, no matter the time savings and so on, i had to go west across 80 to iowa and all my time was usually lost. i spent 80% of my time cussing the OTR drivers as all they did was 'park' in the middle and right lanes and drive half the speed of surrounding traffic completely fouling everything up. hit the gas and get the flock outta town i say. <br /> <br />so i'm all for getting the long haul on the rails. i'd much rather see an intermodal train WFO across the countryside than getting stuck behind two trucks, one going 60 mph getting passed by another doing 60.1 mph.
