| Abstract | The report summarizes the experiences and special problems of minority trucking firms. The firms are classified as unregulated local truckers, unregulated owner-operators, and regulated interstate common carriers. Although the general findings reflect small business problems that affect minorities and non-minorities alike, minority truckers seem to have more trouble developing financial resources. The most important findings is that minority common carriers have found it nearly impossible to acquire operating authority through the regular channels -- generally, they purchase their operating rights. |
