To all of you who are truckers-yes, I know how truckers have to put up with their companies various rules, other drivers who don't realize you're supposed to be careful around semis... But if trucking companies had to build their own roads with their own money, I'd like to see how they would make out. I have no problem with short hual trucking and truck-train service. And I know why the ICC was created. In the 1800's it was probably a necessity but in the 1940's railroads had no such monopoly on the transportation industry. And no-one gripes about how much more fuel a Peterbilt with a 53 feet trailer uses than a SD-70M in porportion to how much they're carrying.
