It would take serious investment for anything new to materialize and that takes will, which just isn't there.One of the things I learned from some research on a possible new venture was that the potato truckers often back haul loads into Maine at very competitive rates. For Aroostook in particular this makes for freight rates on inbound traffic that are exceptionally competitive.
