Abstract: Excerpt from the report Foreword: This report makes a significant contribution to the literature of economics, especially transportation economics. Transportation is a big item of cost to agriculture and transportation of farm products is a big item of revenue for carriers. Both operators and users of transportation have struggled with unique economic problems for many years. Careful reading of this report by layman and professionals will promote better understanding of economic factors affecting the operation of our transportation system. Among other results we hope this report will prompt other scholars to study and write on transportation economics.
