Abstract

The owner-operator sector of the motor carrier industry provides somewhere between 25 and 40% of the interurban truck transportation in the U.S.A. They are seen as the peak-shipping capacity to accommodate temporary dislocations and demand shifts. The regulatory system attracts these investor-operators, but drops them when the peak demand has passed.
