| Motor carriers face a number of regulations in carrying on their business. Trucks are typically regulated as to their length, width, height, load (in terms of gross vehicle weight), and axle weight. The purpose of these regulations is to promote public safety and protect the quality of road surfaces. Highway regulations affecting motor carriers are primarily a state-level responsibility in the United States. Minnesota has its own set of truck size and weight regulations as do neighboring states and Canadian provinces. Because states set their own regulations on truck size and weight, the commercial trucking industry measures the appropriateness of Minnesota regulations to a large extent based on their congruence with those in adjacent states.

| This study describes the movements of grain shipments from Minnesota to their final destinations. A sample of approximately 100 (20 percent) of Minnesota grain elevators reported their monthly grain shipments by mode to each of nine destinations from July 1999 to June 2000. The researchers used this data to project grain shipments from Minnesota and each of six crop reporting districts by grain and by transportation mode to final destination. Minneapolis and Mississippi River ports were the most important destinations, receiving 28.4percent of all shipments. Pacific Northwest export ports received 17.9 percent. Minnesota based corn, soybean, and wheat processors received 16.6 percent of shipments. Duluth-Superior received 10.5 percent and Mexico... |

| International trade in grains and oilseeds is an issue of major importance both to the economies of the U.S. and Canada. An important determinant in international trade flows and competitiveness is the grain transportation system and related infrastructure. The international grain trade and the related transportation systems are changing rapidly. These changes derive from changes in the economic situations of trading partners, alterations to agricultural, trade, and transportation policy, and shifts in the structure of markets for grain and grain transportation. Understanding international competitiveness and future developments in agricultural trade requires an assimilation of these interrelated topics. This topic has been a research area of the... |
