Trucker's Strike Oct. 31st... Rumor?

you're right. railroads couldn't pick up the slack overnight. it would take some time to boulster the infrastructure for the increased capasity (both track and equipment). the line i work for doubled its normal order for locomotive engines this year to help meet the forcasted demands/traffic on our lines.

I talked to dispatchers and drivers for two of the biggie LTL carriers, and about half a dozen freight brokers. Only one of the brokers had heard anything about it. And he said it was from a few ITU guys.
