ECONOMIC REGULATION OF THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY. HEARINGS BEFORE THE COMMITTEE ON COMMERCE, SCIENCE, AND TRANSPORTATION, PART 5, FEBRUARY 21, 26, AND 27, 1980

Testimony and additional articles, letters, and statements are presented from the 15th, 16th, and 17th hearings on a bill to amend title 49 of the United States Code to reduce economic regulation of the trucking industry. Specifically, the bill provides for substantial freedom of motor carriers to increase or decrease rates, counterbalanced by liberalized market entry and significant reforms in the rate bureau process. Among those presenting testimony were representatives from the Interstate Commerce Commission, the trucking industry, labor unions, private research organizations, the Dept. of Transportation, and businesses which use trucking.
