Truck Freight Service Planned for Moravia Area
Improved freight service for Moravia is planned as Burlington Truck Lines holds a temporary federal permit for statewide pickup and delivery. A hearing is set for Aug 30 at the Auditor's office in Albia to consider the Moravia permit. The town has lacked less-than-carload service since January after the Wabash ended it, causing shipments to route through Albia or other towns.
