> Moving freight in the continental US is cheap.
1) We have one of the best freight river systems in the world: the Mississippi/Missouri. River transport is insanely cheap.
2) Our passenger rail system may be some combo of "worse than many developing-world nations" and "nonexistent", but our freight rail network's quite good. Rail's cheap.
3) We subsidize the everloving shit out of truck transportation, making it really cheap, too.
