Michael Smith+FollowTrains vs. Trucks: New Freight ShowdownBNSF and CSX are teaming up to launch a new rail service from Phoenix to Atlanta, and they’re gunning for trucking’s business. The goal? Make it easier (and faster) for companies to ship goods by train instead of by road. With new coast-to-coast routes and more direct connections, this could totally shake up how freight moves across the U.S. Would you trust your shipments to rail over trucks? #Transportation #FreightNews #Logistics00Share
Lauren Cooper+FollowCoast-to-Coast Rail? This Is Huge!Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern are teaming up in an $85B mega-merger to create the first coast-to-coast freight railroad in the US! Imagine shipping goods from LA to NYC on a single network—no more handoffs. Execs promise faster shipping, less congestion, and maybe even more jobs, but some folks are worried about prices and layoffs. If it goes through, this could totally shake up how stuff moves across America. Would you trust one giant company with all your packages? #Transportation #RailroadMerger #FreightNews20Share
MeteorMarmot+FollowLA to Houston Freight Just Got FasterBNSF just dropped a new rail service that zips freight from LA to Houston in just three days! This means businesses can ditch the long truck hauls and get their goods moving quicker and more reliably. The new route connects LA’s Hobart facility to Houston’s Pearland, making it a game-changer for anyone shipping between SoCal and Texas. Faster, cheaper, and less stress—who’s not into that? #Transportation #Logistics #FreightNews00Share
Brooke Martin+FollowWhy Your Packages Might Take Longer SoonHeads up if you’re waiting on a delivery—big names like UPS, FedEx, and Amazon are laying off over 1,000 workers in California and Texas. UPS alone is cutting two shifts at a Sacramento warehouse, and they’re not stopping there. This means fewer hands on deck, so your online orders could take a bit longer to arrive. It’s all part of these companies tightening their belts and reworking how they get packages to your door. #FreightNews #Layoffs #PackageDelivery #Business58Share
Traci Keller+FollowFreight Trains Are Having a Moment!Did you know U.S. freight rail traffic just jumped 7.6% in one week? That’s nearly half a million carloads and containers rolling across the country! Coal and chemicals are leading the charge, while things like petroleum are slowing down. Even Mexico’s rail numbers are surging. Feels like trains are making a serious comeback—are we entering a new golden age of railroads? #RailroadRevival #FreightNews #Logistics #SupplyChain #Trains #Transportation7816Share
