Abstract

Over 99% of interstate shipments of Florida produce are by truck. Motor carriers do not magically know when there is a potential load they would find attractive. Rather, motor carriers and shipper/receivers must locate one another and negotiate terms, either directly or through an intermediary. This report will examine the methods used to arrange produce haulage and changes over the past two decades.
