Interstate Commerce Commission reduces coast to inland freight rates
The Interstate Commerce Commission issued nationwide decisions lowering class and commodity freight rates for routes from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Highlights include Reno and Spokane cases with reductions around 18 to 50 percent, Seattle to Montana and other Western routes cut, and specific Nevada and Phoenix segment reductions, as the Commission targets unwarranted Pacific coast terminal and local rate stacking. The rulings follow extensive hearings during a six week Pacific coast tour and aim to correct entrenched pricing structures across eastern and western transfer points.
