Tariff rates as estimates of actual freight charges
Abstract A number of research problems, particularly those involving the location theory or interregional competition require information on prices charged for transport services. This paper deals with a practical problem of discovering these prices and the extent to which tariff rates approximate the actual freight charges. It compares freight rates obtained from tariffs of individual carriers with actual freight charges for the same sample of shipments. The results show that for truckload shipments of large shippers the tariff bureau rates exceeded actual freight charges by some 30 percent but that freight rates obtained from individual carrier tariffs approximated actual charges very closely.
