      abstract = {Truck transportation rates, which constitute nearly  one-third of the price retailers pay for produce delivered  to their door, were found to be most influenced by seasonal  changes in volume, commodity value and perishability,  destination, distance, and trailer size.  This report,  based mainly on a survey collected from carriers hauling  produce out of Florida to national markets, looks at the  structure and characteristics of Florida's produce shipping  system.  Florida, as the Nation's number two produce  supplier, is an important enough supplier that findings  probably also apply to other major U.S. produce transport  systems.  Data presented in this report fill an information  void because regulatory agencies no longer collect trucking  industry statistics.},
