Shows that highway transportation has definite field; concludes that rail transportation, poorly adapted to efficiently handle terminal transportation, will gradually be relieved of responsibility for performing so-called retail service and be permitted to confine its efforts to that for which it is best suited, handling of mass transportation over long distances; highway transportation will ultimately assume major role in intra-terminal complete movement of freight; inter-line interchange of l.c.l. freight, and movement of freight between rail carrier and trader's door.
