Abstract

Transportation of fresh fruits and vegetables has been continually shifting from railroads to motor carriers over the last 15 years. Truck brokers have become increasingly important as a link between shippers and truckers by arranging transportation of commodities between production areas and market outlets. This report examines truck brokers who arrange movement of ICC-exempt agricultural commodities, their clients, the brokers’ services, and the rate structure of the business.
