摘要：	Regulatory reform has changed the domestic trucking industry from one of the most heavily regulated settings in the U.S. industry prior to the 1970s to a market-oriented system. This reform has been accomplished through a number of legislative and administrative measures, the primary vehicles being the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 (MCA) and the Trucking Industry Regulatory Reform Act of 1994 (TIRRA). The MCA eliminated the federal regulation, and the TIRRA removed the states regulation. By opening the trucking industry to market competition, deregulation has led to significant changes in the way rates are set and the rates shippers pay, the service that is provided, and the carrier operations. The results of this study suggest that policymakers should continue to promote competition among trucking firms. Different interest groups will, of course, continue to press for changes in policy, up to and including the restoration of regulation. Thus, it is crucial that policymakers do not undermine support for deregulation by advancing policies inconsistent with its aims.
