I'd like to see the railroads compete for the short container and trailer hauls, but perhaps they have enough else to haul for now. "Long-haul trucking capacity has been in a vise thanks to a shortage of drivers, higher diesel fuel prices and a surging economy boosting retail sales."
The demand for transportation is derived from the demand for those retail goods. Which shippers will be first to act on the difficulties getting stuff hauled when going to trucks becomes a less attractive option?
