Factors studied were firm stability, vehicle use, seasonality of livestock shipments, loss and damage claims, rates charged, the backhaul situation, nonlivestock trucking activity and the effects of the fuel shortage situation on for-hire good, considering the level of seasonality. The rate of loss and damage claims was low. Rates charged increased considerably between 1972 and 1974.
