Third Followup Study of Shipper/Receiver Mode Choice in Selected Rural Communities, 1982-1983

摘要

This study offers a fourth year's round of data to succeed three earlier measures of the mode choice and freight service evaluation by shippers and receivers in selected rural communities. One is left with the same conclusions that last year's study drew. Most of the respondents conclude that, on balance, regulatory reform has not resulted in adverse shipping conditions. Indeed, a growing number of rural firms are willing to attribute some of their recent transportation improvements to regulatory reform.
