How Inland Waterways Work

Idaho has a port because this is the home base of the Inland Barge Canal Marine Highway 84. Shaver transportation is based in Lewiston, Idaho. They take barges of wood chips, fertilizer, grain and chemicals downriver to Portland, Oregon where they put it on shafts. That is why this section of the river is very important and why we should not close the dams.

The Hudson River in NY still connects to the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway Via The Erie Canal, Oswego Canal, and Lake Ontario. It also connects to the St. Lawrence Seaway to the north via the Erie Canal, Champlain Canal, and Lake Champlain. You can only bring 1-2 barges at a time through the canal system, but it still sees some aggregate and project cargo traffic.

The Missouri flows in to the Mississippi in St. Louis. Interestingly enough, the French did not know the Missouri is actually the longest river in North America, and the rest of the river should have been named Missouri.

Thank You. 🎉

Cairo is pronouced KAY ROH, not KY ROH like the capitol of Egypt.

as said before. the US is on Easy mode

Not gonna lie this seems real cheap to do compared to the hundreds of billions we squander on corpo subsidies

I have never intentionally eaten a soy bean

Commenting to explain that Cairo, IL is pronounced KAY-RO, not KIE-RO like the city in Egypt. Don't boo me, I didn't come up with it.

thats a good investment folks 45-55 % roe on investment of 1-1.5b usd with 40% cash to loan %

the speedboats filled with fentanyl in tRump's big beautiful rivers are not being blown up fast enough!!

Does Mississippi/Missouri system have an equivalent RV/trailer park culture? Meaning people with yachts and 🚤 living along the banks and traveling to different cities

The lower Mississippi is very winding/curvey. It must be a nightmare to navigate to and from Nawleans

United States has ports on the Pacific an Atlanta ocean and a corn belt that release more oxygen into the atmosphere than the Amazon basin. Meaning we have to maintain and upgraded these gifts to bring in outside money. We the people need to use our military to protect the seas and grains to feed the world or we will be answering to a few trillionaires that will use religion and race to rule the world

0:39 and Chicago connects to the great lakes

sad that the states can't use it for trade between the states - it all has to go to someone else outside of the country once it uses the river (guess incoming goods are ok to go upstream) Or has that law been repealed?

2:52 in no way is St Lawrence Seaway a part of the US distribution infratructure

Thanks for sharing! This is incredible

19:22 Absolute lie. People want jobs but immigration visa and h1b scams are taking those jobs from the citizens.

Bro is serious when it's the whole thing. While being goofing around that one river on the pacific northwest.

Just another example of America being a third world country that’s just coasting off of New Deal systems that were put in place and then never maintained to a useful degree.

It simultaneously shows how shortsighted our government is and also how strong and efficient those ~90 year old systems are.

Fascinating! Thanks!

I want to know what truck goes over a hundred miles on a gallon of fuel 😮😅😂😂😂

Once I heard trucks can move 145 mi on a gallon of fuel I had to stop watching because God only knew how much other shit you were going to get wrong! 🤦

The driver shortage is a myth.

I’m not sure if these count as rapids or not, but I grew up in St. Louis and there is one spot on the Mississippi called the Chain of Rocks just north of the city that is impassable during low water, and the water does not need to be that low. It’s basically just bedrock that has been folded upward by geologic processes to resemble an arch, but passing it is anywhere from impossible to very dangerous depending on the size of your vessel. The Chain of Rocks Lock and Canal was built in the 1940s and 50s to bypass it but before that, ships sometimes had to wait several days in the hope that the river would rise.

Where did you get you math on how far a truck and train can go on a gallon of fuel. There is no deisel powered truck that can go 148 miles on a gallon.

A toll charge for the barges could help fund capital improvements. The shipping costs would be passed on to the consumer, yes. But if improved infrastructure allows for faster, more reliable shipping, that should theoretically offset the increased shipping costs.

9:10 no, this is Wendover
