New Low Express Rates On Feb 1 Across United States
Interstate express firms plan a broad rate cut on interstate shipments from Feb 1 under a new tariff approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Iowa rates remain unchanged for intra state business, while Canada rates stay the same. The system uses color coded labels and a three class structure with insurance options, and comparisons show many routes cheaper than parcel post. The plan includes a two year test period to judge if rates are confiscatory.
