Abstract: Throughout the principal fresh fruit and vegetable (FFV) growing areas in southeastern and southwestern states, trucking is the dominant mode for transporting fresh produce to the northeast and upper Midwest. The dramatic shift to trucks in the last 30 years has virtually displaced the railroads from FFV transportation.
