ICC Ruling Restricts Truckers From Serving Rail Connected Cities
An Interstate Commerce Commission decision last month denied Kenosha Auto Transport Corp. authority to haul farm tractors to 44 states, citing reasonably adequate rail service. The ruling, the third of its kind this year, raises industry fears of railroads protected from motor carrier competition. The American Trucking Associations seek reversal, arguing it could foster rail monopoly. A similar previous case involving Diamond Transportation System was later reversed.
