I'm a former OTR driver now working in telecom and as a sysadmin (still with active CDL however). How do you propose to solve the delay issues at each end of the rail journey, do you think shippers can be made to accept longer transit times? I'd love to see the median length for a TL trip come down to like 150 miles.

How do I propose to solve the delay issue? I don't have a solution but I think that there is a lot of value in finding one! I guess that that is part of what I was hinting at when I said that the solution needed a lot of capital investment and software. There is a lot of work to do and a lot of investment to be made. I wish that some of the effort that was going into self driving vehicles would go into making intermodal operations smoother. I think there would be a huge payoff.
