Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Truck brokers of agricultural commodities exempt from regulation are the essential link between producers, truckers, and receivers, particularly for seasonally produced perishables. Truck brokers simply arrange transportation by truck for shippers or receivers of maturing perishables and other exempt commodities for movement to storage, processing points, and market areas, as contrasted to commodity brokers who arrange for the purchase and sales of commodities for a fee. The transportation system for exempt agricultural commodities depends on truck brokers to match shipments of perishable commodities as they mature in various producing areas with the available capacity of the exempt for-hire truckers and the market demands of processors and urban consumers. The coordination of producers, truckers, and brokers insures a reliable and efficient method of moving exempt agricultural commodities. This report presents information on truck broker operations. Most of the transportation arranged for by brokers is for commodities trucked in interstate commerce. The report explains in some detail the important part the broker plays in the truck movement of exempt agricultural commodities.
