Tweety, I honestly don't know. A unified multi industry wide voice would do it. But for that to happen, there needs to be a visionary, articulate and respected leader and I just don't see one. And you have to deal with the Hopalongs who think just throwing more money in the pot will solve everything, which is totally wrong for way to many reasons. But there is a Federal election coming up soon. Individuals and groups could drive this as a campaign issue and make the candidates squirm. Even then, if successful, it would still be a tough fight. I just don't know.

Tweety, I want to hear an answer to your own question from you.... you continue to ask everyone else, so what's your solution?

I wonder if marketers are selling grain when they have no way of supplying it in a timely manor? We all no they are buying with no way or will of accepting delivery in a timely manor.
What does this do for Canadian grain as a dependable commodity for the domestic and export market?
I think the marketers have a big part to blame for this whole mess.

The pool can be variable... just like our Rate Cap...
If performance is not forthcoming, (unfilled car orders being the measure)... then a 15 percent levy will be charged... just like is done now if the RR overcharge on the Rail Cap on Grain shipments from western Canada.This 15 percent is returned to the Shipper whom is hurt by the lack of Freight Service. PRODUCER CARS INCLUDED.
The goal of this 'Freight Assurance Pool' is proper service... when this is being met... we will entertaiin increasing the percent return on the Grain revenue cap now in place.
100 percent service provided=... Cap open... as arbitrated by the 'Freight Pool Arbitation Board'.

Obviously I know nothing about this.
Just from reading your posts
Railways have been rubbish for years, waste of time ringing them
MP / politicians are the same otherwise railways would be fixed.
Grain companies now I bet they would be worth a call not to moan and grown but see if together you could work a better logistical system.
I can not imagine CWB left all the ducks in a line.
Moving grain in the UK is a nightmare having the right number of trucks in the right place at the right time
Canada's distances weather etc. and removal of the logistical experience of the CWB was bound to create unforeseen problems.
The phone call I would be making would be to the people who had bought my grain to see how I could help improve their logistics.
They like you want the grain at its destination so you both get paid.

Did mean to say Grain co here do most of the logistics and even here some are much better than others.
It is a fact I consider when making a sale.
Also I believe they also take into account the attitude/helpfulness of the seller regarding loading times movement dates etc. when making a purchase.
