A NATIONAL SURVEY OF INDUSTRIAL SHIPPERS CONCERNING TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM PERFORMANCE

One of the most glaring voids in transportation literature concerns the performance of transportation systems as perceived by the industrial user. These systems exist to meet the needs of the user and the 1974 National Transportation Report includes a segment devoted to the industrial shipper. The author explains the methodology for obtaining the Industrial Shipper Survey and its evolution from the inception in 1972.
