They claim that every 25 miles material has to be transported by truck will cost as much as the material itself. They are now looking for quarries on islands where they can use barges to move rock... _________________ 08 Joyner SandViper 250 07 Joyner SandSpider 650 06 Tank Urban Touring 150SE 04 Yerf-Dog Spiderbox 4209 GX150 (SOLD) 04 Yerf-Dog Spiderbox 3206 GX150 81 Honda Passport C70B Back to top Sponsor tuskenjedi Mon Feb 04, 2008 6:24 pm  Digg It  Del.icio.us Slashdot It!      Buggified Joined: 26 Jul 2005 Posts: 606 Pictures: 0 Location: Marion, KY pghruby wrote: They are now looking for quarries on islands where they can use barges to move rock... Makes sense. Moving material by truck is about as inefficient as you can get with diesel prices like they are. I hear the railroad companies making claims about how much cheaper it is to transport by rail now because of the fuel prices. _________________ Buggies....

Vulcan Materials is the big rock quarry around here. anyway, I was talking to a guy that works on the river the other day, and I was suprised to here that it takes apprx. a gallon of fuel per 24hrs per HP when moving upriver. he said they have some 5,000 on up to 11,000 hp barges, that is 11,000 gallons of fuel a DAY every DAY they go up river!!! unless the guy was all wet? we have what looks like a barge go by every 15min or so here by the river. that just kinda freaked me out, especially when "they" want me to ride a bicycle to work or a scooter. _________________ Buggy-less at the moment.

If your bicycle could move that amount material, I'd say you valid comparison. Take different transportation methods and add up what is would cost to transport X amount of material. Each one will reach a break point where another transport becomes cheaper. If you are in logistics and actually know your job, you can save your company a lot money knowing these break points. Kelly, you ride your scooter and deliver 30 lbs of gravel to customer A while I'll hop into double dump semi and deliver 75,000 lbs to customer B... _________________ 08 Joyner SandViper 250 07 Joyner SandSpider 650 06 Tank Urban Touring 150SE 04 Yerf-Dog Spiderbox 4209 GX150 (SOLD) 04 Yerf-Dog Spiderbox 3206 GX150 81 Honda Passport C70B Back to top Sponsor krusekontrol Mon Feb 04, 2008 8:35 pm  Digg It  Del.icio.us Slashdot It!      Buggy Enthusiast Joined: 28 Aug 2007 Posts: 203 Pictures: 19 Gallery pictures: 17 krusekontrol's gallery Location: Great Bend ,PA I'll bet that Paddy's Bluff is put under somekind of development deal with in the next five or ten years.
