[Vision2020] Highway 12 Cargo

[Gier, Nicholas]

Hi Sam,

The only way this cargo can get to Billings is via Highway 12 and that is definitely the planned route.  This is a trial run for the 1,200 loads (Tom's main point is that they are similar in size)that Imperial Oil and Exxon will transport to Alberta.

Tom . . .

Did you write, below, what you intended?

If yes, then I have these questions, which apparently are to be answered 
by Mr. Carpenter:

If the cargo items currently stored at the Port of Lewiston are not 
destined to travel
US-12 to Montana, then WHERE are they going?????  Why are they at the Port?

There was a very large ad, I think in the Tribune, a few days ago, 
explaining the
upcoming hauling from Lewiston to the Montana State Line.  As I recall, 
there
were to be two times, ONLY.

I assumed the items to be transported are those stored at the port, of 
which you took
photos.

I don't get the apparent mix up with what you say Carpenter said.

Do you?
