Episode 87 of The Supply Chain Economy explores a quiet but profound shift in American logistics: warehouses are being built directly alongside rail lines, transforming how goods move from ports to inland hubs. Lucas and Luna examine recent data showing industrial production up and trade deficits narrowing, then drill into a specific case: the Union Pacific's new 'warehouse-in-a-box' program in Kansas City, where a 1.2-million-square-foot facility loads containers directly onto railcars. They discuss why this model cuts trucking costs by 30%, how it's reshaping the warehouse construction boom, and what it means for the future of trucking employment. No ads, just the story of how rails are reclaiming freight from roads. #SupplyChainEconomy #Logistics #Freight #Warehousing #Rail #UnionPacific #KansasCity #Intermodal #Trucking #TradeDeficit #IndustrialProduction #CapacityUtilization #InlandPorts #JustInTime #ContainerShipping #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
