Of course you don't ship your car over AND back - that would be ridiculous.  I'm
talking about people who want to drive one way and have their car transported
the other way.  This is a non-trivial market segment I'd say.  All freight
carriers would see this as a potential source of backloading freight - hence the
discounted Eastbound rates which originated this thread.
