Imagine how bad highway congestion would be if it wasn't for intermodal freight being run on trains. More trains would be helpful if those intermodal containers could be hauled on a truck instead of a trailer chassis. At least that would reduce the footprint of a truck on the road.
Yes, I've driven all over the country, and in Canada, too. I've made many trips out west in the last 5 years, and enjoy watching the country roll by once I get west of I55 in Illinois. Truck traffic out there is not annoying, and I can cruise at 75-80 mph for hours without interruption.
Driving to the southeast is a pain if you use I75 because it's basically busy all the way from Detroit, MI to Atlanta, GA. South of Atlanta it's good until you reach northern Florida, then it's busy all the way to Miami.
The less said about the 401 in Canada, the better...
