Can you back this up? We do know that one 160k truck can replace two 80k trucks. Would you rather increase the number of trucks on the road? <br /> <br />And BTW, not all US manufacturers have moved or are planning to move overseas. Why not cut them a break as incentive to succeed here? This attitude seems to confirm my suspicion that railroad folks have more loathing than love for those who provide the bulk of the business.
