BREAKING NEWS: FMCSA proposes EOBRs for all interstate carriers

[skyraider]

Mercy guys,,,lots of guessing and supposing here. I heard that the backhoe makers r increasing their manufacturing rate now 50 pct with all the new terminals and new rail traffic since the implementing the new rules too.

In order for the rail industry to logistically handle even a 20 to 30% increase of what they are doing now would cost billions. There is only so much track out there to park the strings in the railyards. A lot of those that haven't been used would need repair. Gonna take along time and money to get the rail infrastructures up to the task of handling a much greater capacity.

The billions spent on rail is better than the billions spent on expanding roads to reduce congestion.

Unfortunately we need both and can't afford either!
