Abstract: Excerpt from the report Summary: The movement of agricultural goods by truck has become an increasingly important aspect of agricultural marketing. Apart from any State control exercised over rates and operating authority- -neither of which is covered here-- the States regulate trucking of agricultural and other commodities in several ways. They impose restrictions on size and weight of vehicles; they establish rules regarding safe operation of vehicles and standards to be met by drivers; and they impose taxes on vehicles.
