Abstract:
Deregulation of the trucking industry is a boon to shippers. It has doubled the number of for-hire carriers engaged in interstate trucking from 16,000 to 32,000, and it has allowed shippers to cut over $25 billion over the past four years from annual freight costs. However, critics say the downside of deregulation is highway safety for both the truck drivers and the general public.
