This would make sence at Wal- Mart distrubution centers that handles hundreds of truck each day. Conrail used to have small staitions with circus style loading. Vermont Railways has piggyback ramps at Rutland and Burlington but i have yet to see a Vermont Railway trailer on Vermont Railway in Vermont.

They unload the container from the car, load the product into the container and reload the container onto the car.

That company wouldn't be called Microsoy would it?


Is that anything like Soylent Green?
