Florida Motor Carrier Deregulation: Perspectives of Urban and Rural Shipper/Receivers
研究佛罗里达州放松汽车运输管制后，不同规模、社区位置的企业在服务质量上的变化，发现地理位置比企业规模更影响服务，多数企业认为服务改善。
Abstract It is commonly asserted that with release from economic regulations, motor carriers will eliminate or sharply reduce services to small and inconveniently located shipper/receivers. In this study the experiences of shipper/receivers under Florida deregulation are examined. Shipper/receiver experiences are compared according to firm size, community size, and proximity to major metropolitan areas or highways. The results indicate that while firm size has little bearing on service, locational factors are important. For all shipper/receiver subgroups, however, those indicating improvements greatly outnumber those reporting erosions in service.
