The Georgia Ports Authority has opened a new inland port it claims will convert 26,000 truckloads of freight to rail each year.

So how is eliminating 26,000 routes for drivers a good thing? And Its not like fortune 500 corporations are going to lower there costs to consumers, theyll just pocket more profits while eliminating jobs. And this is somehow good? Please explain why?
