There is no shortage of truck traffic in South East in fact all traffic counts show a steady increase. The ATA says that trucks hanled 70% of all inland US freight in 2006 this inludes rail, barge, pipeline abd air transport. I live on major East West railroad and several container trains come through every day. A few years ago you saw a lot of JB and Schieder trailers on the trains but now they are at least 90% sea going containers and you seldom see a trucking company trailer. The problem with putting freight on trains in South East is that rairoads abandoned a lot of the tracks and are now running at capacity and can not dependably deliver the "just in time" freight that many shippers want.
