The Role of "Regulated" Motor Carriers in Hauling Agricultural Commodities in Interstate Commerce

Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Ever since motor carriers began to haul substantial volumes of agricultural commodities, there has been much interest in the relative tonnage moved by the motor carriers as well as railroads, the major volume hauler up to a few years ago. Some studies have explored truck volume and flow patterns, but few have dealt in detail with the so-called "regulated" motor carriers in regard to hauling agricultural products. Even though national statistics are lacking, available evidence indicates that the hauling of agriculture products, except for a few specific cases, will continue to be minor in the total scheme of the regulated motor carrier industry. However, 3 factors could change this situation. The first would be any change in Government laws, regulations, or policies affecting the operations of regulated motor carriers. Second is the continued growth of the private carriers. A third factor affecting the outlook, is the increase consolidations, mergers, and acquisitions taking place in the motor transportation industry.
