Union Pacific to truck it on Dallas-Memphis route <br />Seeking to recover from a round of delays, Union Pacific will start next week shifting a portion of cargo it carries for the United Parcel Service onto trucks, Bloomberg News reports. <br /> <br />Union Pacific spokesman Norman Black says the company will pay truckers to carry United Parcel packages between Los Angeles and Chicago and between Dallas and Memphis for four weeks. <br /> <br />Union Pacific won United Parcel's business in 2003, offering to deliver freight within 60 hours on a coast-to-coast train once a week in each direction, in conjunction with the CSX Corp. <br /> <br />The railroad is seeking to recover from a round of delays that began last year, costing as much as $50 million. <br /> <br />
