Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Freight Rates: Official Classification Territory and Eastern Canada There are of course, many of these overlaps in the different parts of the country and some of them are of considerable importance. The freight rate structure of the United States is usually thought to be in a state of chaos or at least to be so complicated as to be incomprehensible. It is the purpose of the three treatises devoted to freight rates to show that there is fast developing an adjustment of rates throughout the several traffic territories of the country that approaches uniformity within each of the territories. Where there are cooperative rate adjustments, as in Official Classification Territory, they are explained. Also, where distance tables have been applied, either intrastate or interstate, skeletons of the tables or complete tables are given. The skeleton distance tables will be uniform and will aid in comparing the rate structure of the several territories where distance rates are applied. It is usually thought that distance rates have played very little part in rate adjustment in the United States, but it will be shown in these treatises not only that at least half of the states of the Union have prescribed distance rates, but also that the carriers themselves have adopted interstate distance rates which have wide application. For example, the Central Freight Association Scale of distance rates is applied with modifications throughout the entire Central Freight Association Territory. In many cases where specific rates are now published by the carriers, they are based on earlier distance tables with slight modifications. This is true, for example, in Trunk Line Territory. There are also certain distance rates still published as such in Trunk Line Territory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
