Abstract: For-hire truck service experienced by shippers of beef cattle and calves during 1972 was examined. Factors studied include major flow patterns of beef cattle, availability of for-hire truck service, extent of and reasons for shippers entering private carriage, channels through which shippers contact truckers, condition of animals after truck transport (including weight and death loss), and shippers' satisfaction with for-hire truck service.
