The Determinants of Full-Empty Truck Movements

Richard Beilock and Richard L. Kilmer

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1986, vol. 68, issue 1, 67-76

Abstract: A model is developed to explain full-empty movement decisions for motor carriers. The model is estimated for movements to Florida of carriers serving the Florida produce/ornamentals industry. The results indicate that carriers act rationally, basing their decisions on a wide range of factors. The findings also suggest that regulatory restrictions continue to result in unnecessary empty movements.
