Eastern Motor Express, Cooper-Jarrett, Mid-States Freight Lines, Spector Freight System, and Denver Chicago Trucking Co. currently use piggyback for some 10% to 20% of all their long-haul trips. Kansas City's Riss & Co., one of the biggest U.S. truckers, ships 600 trailers weekly by piggyback. As a result, the line has laid off some 1,000 of its original...
