Also, in days after September 11th, 2001; all the domestic freight got to it's destination via truck (some of it was late but the freight rolled on trucks).
Yes, I do. If Arkansas ONLY received freight from Arkansas (no inbreeding jokes, please), then your premise would be valid, but for interstate (and international) commerce to work, it ALL has to work, not just the ground portion. I doubt a FedEx truck could get from Memphis to Seattle (or Frankfurt, for that matter) and honor the overnight guarantee.
