Abstract

Excerpts from the report Preface: Relatively little is known about the operations of for-hire motor carriers who are exempt from economic regulation by the Interstate Commerce Commission. This study was designed to show how they function in regard to transporting agricultural commodities. The research was divided into two parts. The first part dealing with hauling exempt agricultural commodities from the broker's angle was published under the title The Role of Truck Brokers in the Movement of Exempt Agricultural Commodities (Marketing Research Report No. 525, issued February 1962). This is the second part. It deals with the size of the exempt motor carriers, the length of time in business, the type of equipment operated, the amount and type of commodities hauled, and the origins and destinations of the hauls.
