Comparison of For-Hire Motor Carriers Operating Under the Agricultural Exemption with Regulated Motor Carriers
Comparison of For-Hire Motor Carriers Operating Under the Agricultural Exemption with Regulated Motor Carriers
Excerpts from the report: The motor-carrier industry is unique among the regulated industries, because the for-hire interstate transportation of unmanufactured agricultural commodities by truck is exempt from economic regulation by section 203(b), subsection 6 of the Motor Carrier Act of 1935, as amended. This section is known as the agricultural exemption, and carriers engaged exclusively in hauling exempt agricultural commodities are known as exempt carriers. This report analyzes the data supplied by special tabulation of the 1963 Census of Transportation. The purpose is finding answers to the following questions: (1) What are the operating characteristics of motor carriers engaged in hauling exempt agricultural commodities? (2) Do these characteristics differ from those of carriers subject to economic regulation? (3) How do the estimates based on smaller samples compare with those based on the Census data?
