That does surprise me, though, because rail is a pretty slow means of transportation. But all of the major carriers--UPS, FedEx, et al.--have freight divisions and delivery speed with freight companies (trucking companies are one of the major carriers of freight, too, and you probably know how long something shipped by truck takes sometimes is not much of a concern).

Actually if a package goes from California to Florida it would take much less time to put the trailer on a train than to be pulled by a truck.
A train can take more trailers and rather than stop the train, they just change engineers.
It is 2069 miles between the two and a truck can only legally drive about 700 miles a day. A train can go approximately 1600 miles a day.
We see at least 3 to 12 UPS trailers on every freight train we see.
Oh and darling, yes truckers are on a schedule.
