Abstract

Report Introduction: The primary purpose of this report is to make available certain statistical information about motortruck shipments of agricultural commodities into and out of California. Interstate truck transportation of certain agricultural commodities ordinary livestock, poultry, fish, shellfish, and most unprocessed farm products--is exempt from economic regulation by the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) by Section 203 (b) of the Motor Carrier Act of 1935, as amended in 1958. Therefore, no agency, public or private, has the responsibility for assembling economic information on the interstate transportation of exempt commodities. This report relates only to exempt truck shipments in and out of California. All intrastate for-hire carriers, except those hauling agricultural commodities from fields to canneries, packing sheds, or processing plants, are regulated by the State. Although the main emphasis is on truck transportation, selected rail and water data are included for comparative purposes. The basic data used in this report were compiled from a number of secondary sources, the Federal-State Market News Service, and interviews with growers, shippers, truckers, brokers, and tradespeople.
