The Determinants of Full‐Empty Truck Movements
构建了一个模型解释货运公司空载与满载的决策，并以佛罗里达州农产品/观赏植物行业的运输数据验证，发现公司决策理性且受多种因素影响，同时监管限制仍导致不必要的空驶。
Abstract A model is developed to explain full‐empty movement decisions for motor carriers. The model is estimated for movements to Florida of carriers serving the Florida produce/ornamentals industry. The results indicate that carriers act rationally, basing their decisions on a wide range of factors. The findings also suggest that regulatory restrictions continue to result in unnecessary empty movements.
