Abstract:

This paper describes near-term and long-range responses by freight carriers, shippers, and manufacturers to fuel price increases and availability questions since the 1973-1974 oil embargo. Near-term refers to those events that are nonrecurring, whereas long-term refers to the anticipated responses of freight movers in the next 10 years. A telephone survey that was used to collect responses from carriers suggests that near-term responses were primarily cost-cutting operational strategies and long-term planning emphasized vehicle changes to such an extent that modal attributes are effectively changed over time.
