CHANGING MARKET STRUCTURE FOR THE FOR-HIRE MOTOR CARRIER

This paper identifies the elements affecting the market structure of our trucking system and the long-term impact of altering these elements. To the extent that structural impacts may occur from less regulation, the impact of instituting these changes is also addressed. It is expected that these changes may be limited to selected carrier activities. To the extent that these elements can be measured, a quantitative analysis has been undertaken. (Author)
