Any more info on moving containers via river? Trucking is faster but lb for lb water transport is the cheapest way to move goods.
I figured containers would be too heavy for barges and thats why they already dont move goods that way along the Mississippi/Ohio system.
Bulk transport is a weird side interest of mine lol so if you could link something about that Id love to read it.
