| A survey of the milk haulers in the Northeast was conducted in June 1992 to assess the status of the industry. Detailed information on characteristics of the hauling businesses as well as the equipment operated was collected. Data submitted by milk haulers with New York addresses was isolated from the survey data set and analyzed on a regional basis. Some of the general topics addressed include the number, size, and location of hauling businesses, wages paid to hired drivers, and the cost of milk hauling equipment. A section is devoted to measures of hauling efficiency. Two sections review the costs involved in milk hauling, the first of which is more general in its approach. The second cost-based section investigates differences in hauling costs between... |

| A survey of the milk haulers in New York and Pennsylvania was conducted to assess the changes in the northeast milk hauling industry since 1981. Detailed information was collected on characteristics of the hauling businesses as well as the equipment operated. Some of the general topics discussed include the number of hauling businesses, the size of hauling businesses, and the cost of milk hauling equipment. To address the subject of hauling efficiency, a section describing common measures of efficiency is included. Where possible, comparisons have been made to statistics obtained from a similar study completed in 1981. |

| Economists have long considered issues of spatial economic activity, trade, and location values. Among all the various theories presented over the past century, it is safe to say that not one predicts that goods, services, or factors of production must attain the same value at different locations in geographic space. Only under the most extreme conditions, such as zero transportation costs, would it be even conceivable that the same commodity or factor of production be expected to command the same price in two geographically separated markets. With costly transportation, it is possible that two separate markets have nearly the same, or even identical, prices, but there are no theoretically justified reasons to expect such an outcome, a priori. When the... |
