Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The 9,294 farmer cooperatives in the United States owned or leased an estimated 33,000 motortrucks as of January 1, 1961, according to a recent study by Farmer Cooperative Service. These motortrucks do an important part of the hauling of agricultural commodities and supplies for members and patrons of cooperatives. This report gives results of a detailed study of motortruck operating costs of 20 farmer cooperatives. These cooperatives were selected for detailed study to determine truck operating characteristics and costs for the larger fleet operators.
