There is a little math error here:
Campbells takes in 800,000 # of fresh produce per day. That is 20,000 trailer loads per day. At $3,000 per trailer load for freight only that comes to a $60,000,000.00 freight bill per day
A 40 foot trailer can haul up to 80,000 pounds of freight -- that is only 10 trailer loads @ $3000 a piece or $30,000 for a day. If the trailers only haul 40,000 pounds, half full, than it would be 20 trailers a day at $3000 a piece for $60,000.
Just my two cents.
