The economics are tremendous. Landair was a contractor to the airfreight industry. What we did was provide pickup and delivery for Flying Tigers, Burlington, etc. But we saw a need for a system that would forward freight from airport to airport. We do it with trucks.
Trucks can accommodate larger freight.
The rule for airlines is that they have to put on passengers' bags, then U.S. mail, then cargo. Which means that if you have a 700-pound shipment, it may or may not fit on that airplane. In the early '90s, all the domestic carriers were coming out of the widebody planes and going to narrow bodies. So we fell in at the right time. We have over 1,600 customers, so there are a lot of people in the business of forwarding freight.
