PURPOSE AND USEFULNESS
The three new rail cars will rolling door side access will help to interconnect small load deliveries to form a worldwide network for such in demand uses “just in time” factory deliveries and will speed coordination of rail, air, trucking, and shipping, and reduce the cost of present non-divided non-filled containers to individual businesses and transportation companies. This will also reduce loading and unloading times due to easier access to individual small containers. The new businesses generated by these improved business methods will cause the complete interconnection nation wide and worldwide of rail, air, trucking, and shipping.
The new system components will produce energy cost reduction in several ways by allowing stacked storage of container and framed components instead of having to keep rail cars on the tracks and hauling them from one location to the other, empty, also when no return load is available after a delivery, multiple cars can be stacked on one assembly and returned to the next point of usage.
The new doored storage cars will allow for economical point-to-point transportation so that customers can ship their storage containers to new locations without reloading the contents. Also, it will be unnecessary to remove the contents of a car or trailer to get at shipment stored at the rear of the standard type semi-trailer, cargo containers, and two doored rail cars. The new forklift holes allow easy placement and construction of the new cars. The new pin and hole attachment system will prevent shifting stacked containers from being affected by winds. The new storage and transportation yard configurations will allow economical overhead new business establishment options resulting in lower consumer cost for goods and services. The new interconnection of rail, road, ship, and air, freight will produce efficient transfer and storage of containers and cars.
The new system will allow stacked indoor storage of components to avoid weathering corrosion elements during times of non-usage.
Existing cars and containers that are corroded or worn out or too heavy to be cost efficiently used can be converted into permanently fixed storage yard retro fitted divided units with rolling or knob doors.
The new improved business methods for air, rail, shipping, and freight, storage and flea markets will solidify and reduce costs of shipping and consumer costs through an improved system of wholesale/retail transportation coupled with lower costs flea market purchasing power for those individuals below the poverty line.
The new container system will create economic stimulus and jobs by creating unsatisfied consumer demand in the fields of product manufacture involved.
The new warehouse and container system will reduce transportation cost by more efficient truck capacity usage and fewer trucks on the road resulting in less gasoline consumption, labor cost, new and truck purchases, thereby reducing consumer product cost.
The new system will reduce land fill space depletion and the necessity of constructing landfills and/or trash incinerators.
Garbage collection weekly pickups may be stretch to monthly pickups thereby saving tax payers, cost of employee hiring, truck purchasing and maintenance.
The new system will eliminate messy and expensive recycling of plastics, metals, cardboard, and glass.
The reduction in paper related products will reduce the necessity of cutting trees and damages to forest ecosystems, animal life, global warming, drought, and global toxic air.
Container Cost Reduction: The cost of the use of recycled containers is less than the cost of manufacturing new containers due to the durability of the new containers and minimal cost of deposit charging and refunding resulting in lower long term cost to consumers.
The oils and toxic liquids deposit and refund program will eliminate potentially environmentally damaging toxic waste products from becoming illegally dumped because potentially dumpers will be dumping their own money that could be received from their deposit refund.
The new grocery, retail, staging warehouse, and originating manufacturer, system will reduce labor cost or shelf stocking of individual items by dealing in full container and sub-container quantities and products.
The new system will create jobs in container washing and handling fields and equipment manufacturing.
The new system will eliminate trash dumping, by giving a considerable financial reward to those who cleanup the irresponsibility of others. Also, roadside litter, underwater littering, and floating debris will be greatly reduced if the deposits are set high enough.
