I see a lot of people talking about "packages", but UPS/Fedex/USPS don't use trains because they're too slow, right? I assume we're talking about wholesale shipping here.



Anything with lithium-ion battery can’t be shipped via air due to FAA regulations.

So, laptops and phones all travel on trains and trucks. Will big helpful warning labels as well.


Ground shipping in the US often goes by train when it has to cross the country, its cheap and fuel efficient.
