Descripción
Deregulation and reregulation of transportation
is one of the most significant policy developments
of recent years. It is important to understand
the impacts of such changes on the
availability of transportation services to agriculture,
small communities, and rural areas. In
this paper the experiences of shipper/receivers,
carriers, private carriers, and agricultural
truck brokers in Florida, the first state to deregulate
nonpassenger motor carrier transport,
are examined. Implications of these experiences
for the Northeast are drawn. These findings are
of particular interest to Maine, the second state
to have deregulated nonpassenger transportation.
