[QUOTE="Buffaloaf, post: 665860, member: 20890"] Rockford actually used to receive volume from all those places (except for Indy) up until last August or September. We still take volume from Waukegan (or at least, we get volume from Northbrook and then outbound a WAUIL preload). We no longer build a Harvey or Joliet load, but did for a long time. We brought all these loads back for peak because we started to get inbound volume from them. So really, it's not too far a drive from those places to RFD (w/ exception of Indy), but rather it's a matter of the cost of taking that little amount of volume in and building those small loads while the volume is so low. RFD actually asked to get rid of those inbound trailers in order to help us meet our PPH goal more easily. Just thought I'd throw in a little back history to your statements :smart:. You are dead on about the RFD community needing the air hub there though: lots of people depend on that place for a FT job or insurance...and Rockford doesn't exactly have a booming economy or employment rate either.
