[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by greyhounds</i> <br /><br />Bill C - when I check the USDA site for truck rates I don't see $9,000 from Washington to the east coast. <br /> <br />www.ams.usda.gov/mnreports/wa_fv190.txt <br /> <br />Am I not understanding something? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Perhaps those are the one-way rates, with an implicit backhaul. I would think it is more difficult to find a backhaul load for a reefer than a dry van. <br /> <br />Regarding Railex, don't forget to add in the local truck rate on both ends, and then compare price and expediency with the over the road guys. There is also some reefer service going TOFC between the PNW and East Coast. <br /> <br />Bill C. - Since the Wallula area has access to both UP and BNSF, will this facility end up allowing access by BNSF should they offer service out of the facility, or is this facility in Wallula only accessable to UP?
