Where did the freight go? In Indy it went to Mexico. The Rexnord plant in Indianapolis, a machine tool & die maker announced it was moving to Mexico putting 350 people out of work by April 2017. Union Steel Workers have had labor peace for a long time @ this plant.
Carrier a division of United Technologies announced 2 months ago it was moving to Mexico. Putting 1500 United Steel workers on the street.
Both companies, especially Rexnord said they went south for cheaper labor. That is where & why you have less freight. Von.
How many warehouses does Amazon have in your area? In Indy they have 5 buildings totaling about 4.5 million square feet. And another 400,000 square foot building run by Con-Way Logistics. At one time ABF Indy was getting 300 bills a night on outbound. They have lost half of that. All due to pricing. For 2 cents a box most shippers will switch to a different carrier. The carriers that damage the least amount of freight & hit the delivery window are the ones that stick around. von.Amazon dried up at 184. t.m. sent back rental vans. Not sure what is going on.
