The nature of truck service causes operating costs to vary significantly in relation to particular characteristics associated with each activity. Vehicle configuration, commodity characteristics, hauling distance, degree of utilization, regional area of operation, right-of-way conditions, and driver expertise and attitude affect costs. This study relates operating costs to these factors to produce representative information for a wide spectrum of motor carrier activities.
