Abstract

Excerpts from the report Introduction: On June 30, 1953, the District Court of the Northern District of Iowa declared that fresh-dressed poultry was an exempt commodity as defined by the Motor Carrier Act of 1935 as amended. The U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed this decision, and the U. S. Supreme Court denied review of the case. Similarly, on April 23, 1956, the U. S. Supreme Court affirmed a decision of the District Court of the Southern District of Texas that both fresh and frozen dressed poultry came under the agricultural exemption clause of the above act. The result of these decisions was to exempt the interstate motor transportation of fresh and frozen poultry from economic regulation; that is, control over rates, routes, etc., by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The objectives of this study are: 1. To provide information on the volume of shipments and market distribution of fresh and frozen poultry by geographic regions and by type of carrier; 2. To provide information on different phases of service, freight rates, and equipment which would permit comparisons to be made between regulated and exempt motor carriers with respect to these particular items.
