Hauling Railroad Intact Track...Go By Truck, Won't Get Lost!!

We hauled this for a major railroad line. That is four sections of 40-ft. sections of ties and track.

Hubby asked the shipper why they didn't haul their own product and the guy responded that truck was better. Why, you may ask? Well, we can get it to the destination lots faster plus we won't lose it for a month!!

Yup, the shipper actually said if the RR hauls it, it's not a priority (??) And their trailer will get put somewhere and it'd be a month minimum before it would be found.

Now, to my mind, if there were ever a reason to keep us truckers on the road, this is it. We're faster plus, we don't lose whole trailers, with product, for a month.

Yup, the country needs us truckers....

Thank you for your comment. Since I'm not always 'on' the 'puter, I have to wait till I'm in buckshot of the 'net somewhere. This may take some time so don't despair if you don't see your post immediately. I'll get around to it...or not. :-)
