[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by csxns I also saw Wal-Mart and Sams Club trailers on rail and a friend of mine that works for a intermodal yard said they were new trailers being shiped to them because it was cheaper. [/quote] This is true. Also it could be that Wal-Mart dosent have enough trailers in an area of the country. Some trucking companies do this. Put empties on the rails just to get them to an area of the country where business is good and worth needing the extra equipment. Also Wal-Mart transportation, after delivering loads to the store, will often haul goods from manufacturers to their DC's acting as a for hire carrier. I've heard that the trucking side of Wal-Mart is one of the biggest money makers for Wal-Mart. Their drivers are a class act. Not just anybody can drive for Wally World.
