Time. A truck can get a load from one coast to the other in 5-8 days. Every time, any destination. The railroad takes longer, and if it's not a major market at each end it is even longer. Boats and barges are still the most efficient use of fuel - but they are even slower and more route restricted than rail! -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
