45 years after the Staggers Act, consolidation has left the U.S. freight rail network severely concentrated. 🚂 One merger could give a SINGLE railroad control of almost half the national system. ✅🏁 The STB must do its job to protect competition and keep goods moving.

Great event for a great cause!

Beautiful day for some golf!!! 2nd Annual Swings for Stem Golf Tourney!

NEW: ACD's Eric R. Byer outlines the reality of what the Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern proposed merger would mean for shippers across the nation: failed promises.   More⤵️

Different story indeed. Check me out on Road Dog Trucking Radio this afternoon at 1:30pm to discuss more!

Looking forward to it!

ACD applauds today's bipartisan effort to protect competition and hold rail accountable. As Eric R. Byer notes, “This merger is not in the public’s interest and does not enhance competition.” Read more: acd-chem.com/media-center/p…

This is insanity. Let’s just keep going back and forth and forget that air traffic in this country is systematically being closed because people can’t get their damn paychecks. Congress needs to get its sh** together and now. Hammer out a deal and let’s move on already.

No truer words have been spoken.

And we are off! The 2025 ⁦Alliance for Chemical Distribution⁩ Annual Meeting in chilly Marco Island has commenced!

Thank you to all our veterans. Too often we take for granted all that we have in this great country. Thank you for your service and sacrifices. They will never be forgotten!

About time. This whole mess has been an abomination. Our founding fathers are rolling over in their grave. Congress needs to do better.

So good.

So good…

And the opposition continues!!

ACD supports NAWE in raising concerns over the proposed UP–NS merger. Intermodal rail keeps supply chains moving—further consolidation risks service, competition, and regional economies. We urge the STB to assess long-term impacts. Read more: viethconsulting.com/news_archive_h…

Always great having Alliance for Chemical Distribution member Richard Erstad from Hawkins Inc. in town to visit with folks on the Hill. Opposition to this proposed rail merger between UP & NS is gaining momentum! 

The FMC plays a critical role in upholding the success and strength of the U.S. maritime supply chain. ACD congratulates Laura DiBella on her confirmation as commissioner of the FMC and we look forward to working together to protect American shippers from unfair trade and
