RURAL AND INTERCITY HIGHWAY FREIGHT MOVEMENT
As indicated earlier, trucks transport much of the goods that move through rural areas or from them to urban locations. Crops, dairy and meat products, and many other items go to market or processing plants over local and main roads. In addition, trucks monopolize transportation engineering for perishable or lighter-weight, high-value products not only on short hauls but on long intercity ones as well, although "piggyback” (trailers on railroad cars) is increasing.
This vast goods movement is almost entirely in privately owned vehicles traveling on publicly constructed and maintained highways. Some trucks are owned and operated by licensed carriers including railroads, others by companies transporting their own products, still others by companies or individuals who provide transportation engineering on a for-hire basis. Some truckers are regulated for rates and safety by federal and state agencies; others are largely unregulated.
