This episode, Walt sits down with Theo Vallis, VP Commercial, Luminary Logistics Solutions, and President of The Railway Industrial Clearance Association (RICA), and Greg McComas, Senior Manager Dimensional Clearances, BNSF, and Chair of AREMA’s Clearance Technical Committee. The trio takes a 360-degree view of the world of clearances and the movement of high-visibility cargo across the North American market. From blades to bridges, they cover how oversized cargo gets from A to B without taking out infrastructure. It is an entertaining ride through the world of dimensional freight that is all around us – watch your head.
