Commodity Exemptions and Relaxed Market Entry: New Opportunities for Motor Carrier Backhauls

This is the seventh of eight papers in the Transportation Deregulation and Agriculture series, John O. Gerald and Ken L. Casavant, general editors, published by the Western Rural Development Center. The series deals with the nature and potential impacts on agriculture of the Motor Carrier and Staggers Rail Acts of 1980. These acts, in part, removed federal regulation of the trucking and rail industries. This paper is concerned with commodity exemptions and relaxed market entry for motor carrier backhauls.
