“We cannot reduce our oil dependency without tackling our oil-guzzling transport sector.”
Claude Turmes
“TOPE, v. To tipple, booze, swill, soak, guzzle, lush, bib, or swig. In the individual, toping is regarded with disesteem, but toping nations are in the forefront of civilization and power. When pitted against the hard-drinking Christians the absemious Mahometans go down like grass before the scythe. In India one hundred thousand beef- eating and brandy-and-soda guzzling Britons hold in subjection two hundred and fifty million vegetarian abstainers of the same Aryan race. With what an easy grace the whisky-loving American pushed the temperate Spaniard out of his possessions! From the time when the Berserkers ravaged all the coasts of western Europe and lay drunk in every conquered port it has been the same way: everywhere the nations that drink too much are observed to fight rather well and not too righteously. Wherefore the estimable old ladies who abolished the canteen from the American army may justly boast of having materially augmented the nation's military power.”
Ambrose Bierce
“Shippers can reduce transportation costs, especially for bulk commodities, by moving product through a port -- particularly one that has multimodal opportunities such as barge, rail, and truck.”
Jay Baird
“They (Piston) are not the entire transport sector. This group is really traditional demonstrators. With or without e-VAT (expanded value-added tax), they hold rallies,”

“They (Piston) are not the entire transport sector. This group is really traditional demonstrators. With or without e-VAT (expanded value-added tax), they hold rallies.”
“We have a long term, serious problem with regard to vulnerability of the transportation sector...it being so tied to oil is a huge security question...and the Middle East is at the heart of the issue.”
Jim Woolsey
“Most of our products are transported by truck ... which would carry over to increased transportation costs for those products.”
Leslie Johnson
