Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores various data collected from class I motor carriers and provides summaries by district and region for the years 1938 through 1940. A focus of the data is on carriers' assets, liabilities, equipment, and revenue. The author provides insight into the expansion of the motor carrier industry in the United States during the early 20th century, looking at both common and contract carriers. By organizing data by district and region, the author positions this expansion within its broader economic and geographic context. Thematic depth is provided by breaking down the data to show the relationship between equipment owned and revenue, broken down into freight, passenger, and local service. The concluding insights show that expansion of the industry continued despite competition from other transportation sectors, like rail, and would ultimately lead to motor carriers becoming a central part of the American economy.
