Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Information on the movement of agricultural exempt commodities by motor truck traditionally has been limited to data collected in and applicable to a specific time period. This limitation, especially in projections of transportation costs to users, has presented problems in both the private and public sector with regard to planning, budgeting, and analyzing transportation alternatives. To provide reliable estimates of truck rates for shipping cotton and other agricultural commodities, a method of collecting rates and subsequently developing rate estimating equations was needed. Therefore, in June 1967, the Economic Research Service contracted with the Texas Transportation Institute to determine the feasibility of collecting exempt truck transportation rate data on a continuing basis. This article deals specifically with truck rates for moving cotton in the Southeastern United States and the Arizona-California region. Data were collected by personnel of the Texas Transportation Institute and supplemented by data provided by the USDA.
