I’ve been helping coordinate shipments for a small distribution business, and we’re trying to find more stable options for long-distance transport. Someone mentioned switching parts of our network to a rails service, but I don’t have much experience with how it actually works in practice. It sounds efficient for bulk movement, but I’m unsure about delays, coordination with trucking at endpoints, and overall reliability. For those who’ve used rail for freight before, how smooth is the process day to day? I’d really appreciate hearing real experiences before we consider it seriously.
