Dear Mr. Schmidt, <br /> <br />I can certainly see your point of view but those of us who are in the trucking industry here in Canada also have to have an opinion on this subject. A case in point would be the following question: How many train crossing accidents happen versus truck accidents are there? If Walmart and other companies had rail service would that potential for accidents go up just because there are now more rails crossing the roadways? How expensive would it now be to put overpasses over the rails? My point is this; don't think the country would be safer with less trucks on the road and don't assume that the professional drivers out there are always the cause of such accidents. It takes a bit of time and space to stop a big rig and a lot longer to stop a train.
