[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 568565, member: 13921"] They definately have been doing that on some corridors. In order to compete, they have to. The railroads will not run more hotshots than they do currently. Both BNSF and UP have run tests to achieve 4 day service to NJ from LA and vice versa. Both railroads found they could do it, but the disruption to their other trains was too much. The reason for the tests was to take packages picked up in CA or the Northeast on Mondays and get them to the opposite coast for Friday delivery. BNSF has given quite a bit of UPS business to UP because the disruption was too much to dispatch around. UP took some of it, then gave it up for the same reason. UPS' relationship with the railroads makes for some very interesting reading...... TB [/QUOTE]
