Which is more efficient for freight: Truck or train?

William Nickle, supply chain and operations management professor at Rutgers University Business School MBA Program, explained it to me further: “One of the biggest differences between roads and railroads is that the infrastructure for trains is financed by private individuals, and the infrastructure for trucks (roadways, bridges, etc.) is financed by the government. A government that is as in debt as ours has not been able to invest enough to revitalize and resolve all of the current issues with the infrastructure the trucking industry relies upon.”
