[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1070981, member: 13921"] Fed Ex uses sleeper teams for most of their volume. A sleeper team will pretty much always beat railroad transit times. There is no way UPS could pay union scale on enough sleeper teams to compete. They have already asked UP and BNSF for faster transit times. Both railroads tested it and decided that so many other trains would be disrupted that it was not worth it to run them. Right now, we are getting the best transit times we are going to get from the railroads. They only way to tighten them up would be to add more sleepers. [/QUOTE]
