[quote user="greyhounds"] Safety Valve should be teaching logistics in a graduate school of business.  I'm serious. He knows how freight moves and he can sure put it across. [/quote] Aww, dont mind me. I lay it on my dispatchers who constantly threatened firing if I was late. They in turn were in the steam because of promises made by and to brokers and all were run into the ground by angry shippers and recievers who held the entire trucking company's account at risk if the load arrived late. And everything inside the distribution and dock was treated with the utmost slowness and behind yesterday's commitments. I think if the UP railroad can treat perishables as a regular freight train, it's probably because they are only one railroad and hard to replace with another railroad that will provide faster service to the customer who is chained to his siding. It's much easier to fire trucking companies and have another deliver it earlier. But it's the driver that gets it down here at the bottom of the mountain. The one thing I see here is the train being discussed here has it covered on both ends and it looks like they can beat trucking's time and do it probably with alot of positive things moving all of that perishable west to east. Maybe the days of perishable trains running on top priority schedules given to unit coal trains are here again. But what do I know? I just play with trains because it's fun!   See ya next time.
