The Myth of a Single Market Truckload Rate: Part 2

Posted on May 9, 2015 by | Leave a comment

This approach to rate analysis is interesting. I know from experience, having seen how hard it is to deduce correct truckload rates for a given simulation.  We spent a lot of time divining these rates for a specific need. A generic econometric approach would be useful.  I hope Chris Caplice has a public access paper on the subject.

The same issue applies to rail rates as well.  And they are even more obscure, since one cannot get info on them easily.
