[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Overmod It's not that it wasn't a nice and polite question -- just that you keep asking the same one over and over. There's no reason to 'wade through all those threads' -- most of them were started by you, and participated in by you rather avidly, so you should remember what was in them. When I said "beaten to death" I meant within the RoadRailer business threads, not in general. And yes, I responded a bit more intensively to Junctionfan than I would to most other posters, because I KNOW that he's already covered this particular issue with many questions before, and also that I've suggested that he do some of the financial and operational modeling to answer some of the question before he asks it -- repeatedly -- in the forums. Hopefully, both of you will note that (once again) I provided answers and approaches in my post which do, in fact, address the question Junctionfan asked. And will further support any positive and original thinking on the topic as the thread progresses. I am not privy to internal thinking at Schneider and Swift, so I cannot say exactly why they chose not to continue; in the specific case of Swift I am, in fact, looking forward to finding out whetner they've quit 'for good' or because there are factors that need to change for them to resume. But my point was, and is, that it's possible to figure out some of the problems from first principles, before having to ask for proprietary information (etc.) which will almost certainly not be provided for general postings! [/quote] Well, that's cool I guess.... After reading into this thread, I was tempted to ask a question, but was afraid someone would bite my head off if the subject had been touched on in the "many" other threads you refer to. Perhaps you might know the answer. In the context of the other providers of roadrailer service bowing out of the equation, as one living near TC's mainhub (Ft Wayne, IN) I see NS continuing to make significant investment in expansion of TC infastructure. My guess is that these other providers dropped out because the business simply wasn't that lucrative, yet here is NS marching to the beat of a different drummer entirely. Any idea what NS's CLAIMED profit/loss is on the TC business as an entity? I tried to nose around the TC website looking for investor information, AND FOUND NONE, which is either curiously telling,...or I simply was not looking in the right place....Either way, I'm curious....
