FDX/Burlington rail
Thought this was interesting, and not in a good way. Doesn't UPS move some of their freight with trains? Here's the interesting paragraph:
One recent win was FedEx (FDX), which, after years of being courted, in February started using Burlington for freight hauls of more than 500 miles in the western U.S., Lanigan says. "We were relentless over time," he says. "Finally, at some point, it just makes sense for them." FedEx declined to comment.

Your biggest hit is going to come from team drivers when they get the trucking side rolling.
