[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1486471, member: 13921"] My understanding is that the majority of BNSF and NS contracts expire in January. I cannot remember if it is the 5th or 15th. BNSF is not running Z trains anymore and not guaranteeing transit times. Transit guarantees were the reason the UPS paid a premium for Z trains. UP and BNSF both had shooters that were named after UPS transportation managers. The railroads make so much more money moving oil that they are not interested in moving trains that require tight schedules. It is possible that UPS will still move trailers on trains when the transit includes a weekend (2 free days of travel), but from what I have seen BNSF cannot maintain a schedule even with 2 free days.
