1. There are less drivers
2. Higher costs have put scores of truckers out of business
3. AND NOW...

Railroad is picking up the slack. I have just read that they are reaping huge profits. When I say huge I mean
enough to spend our 10 billion dollars on infrastructure improvement. WHAT..lets do a comparison

• Trucking has added 5 billion dollars of cost    
• Rail is able to spend 10 billion on infrastructure from profit

I am glad that the jobs are just moving to other forms of American business but I do not understand
why the federal government has such a campaign against trucking. Maybe they did not set out to do this but this is definitely the result
