purchased transportation and rail are all the same, the new plan only allows for 4% to be shifted from the rail back to the road using an approved carrier

4% This contract year. It will grow to 9% by the end of this contract.

Nothing wrong with that. Thanks for the reply.

I think Glen Moore is the first APPROVED carrier. We had an instance in Chicago where the company was given a 10 day pass to use US Xpress to move freight to the west coast due to the flooding that disrupted rail traffic due to bridge washouts. USX has since disappeared.

You're right about the percentage growing during the life of the agreement. However, this must be traffic that is deferred from the rail.

When in doubt, get unit numbers and as much information as you can, and report any violations to the committee.
