I know it is sure taking a toll on everyone and everything else up there. I read a couple articles and it is HORRIBLE! My thoughts and prayers are with them.


So far:

no more than any other industry.

Several years ago, when the St. Louis area was flooded so badly, it actually gave me quite a bit of extra work as we were taking supplies in as fast as we could get trailers loaded.

Just like what happened in Katrina and everything I guess


But wouldn't there be other effects on it?

My husband hauls freight from the rail here in Nashville, it has been SLOW, this year, not much frieght moving due to nobody buying goods. He says even though it is peak season the rail is only about half full. Bad, Bad.
