UP building ANOTHER intermodal hub, this time in SA
The framework for the TTC continues apace with a new NAFTA intermodal hub being constructed by UP in SA which is expected to process as many as 100,000 tractor-trailers per year, further adding to the problems already on 35.
Of course, this is why 39% will say we NEED the TTC. What 39% hasn't told you is that the truck drivers have already said they aren't going to use the TTC. They've already begun negotiating for longer transport lead times. Which leaves us stuck with 39% transportation 'legacy' until the end of time (not to mention sitting in traffic). Unless those in the Lege finally sac up and do something.
Not mentioned in the press release were the longshoreman in CA who will lose their jobs as shipping traffic transitions to Mexico's Pacific coast.
