How hard is it to make money when you have a permanent and exclusive right-of-way for which you had to pay nothing and when there is no competition for a great deal of your business?


The competition is the truck freight hauled on the interstate highway.

When was the last time anyone hauled coal on the interstate highway system? And is it really practical to move a 400-car load of wheat in highway trucks? For any really voluminous and heavy cargo, if you are not near a major body of water, there is only rail.
