RE:Speaking of Broad Shouldersthe cost of transportation may be insignificant. compared to other costs or problems that could occur going some other route. if one closer is available. one truck can haul 45,000 pounds of freight typically. not sure what freight runs in canada but in the states $3 bucks a mile would be easy to find a driver for. its just one pick and one drop.

Shipping light fraction to Memphis was goofy enough , to ship heavy fraction accross the country (continuously) as a part if the downstream process in Vancouver is new level of goofy...... UNLESS!!!
