Ford seeks to cut trucking regulations to boost competition
Ford urged Congress to limit federal trucking regulation to boost competition and cut consumer costs. The plan targets a 40 year patchwork system, ends rate bureau talks on most fares for three years, and reshapes ICC authority. Agricultural carriers would haul formerly prohibited goods on return trips to reduce empty trucks, while private carriers could serve industry affiliates and certify with ICC if dedicating equipment to shippers.
