Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to determine if advertising in the motor carrier industry has increased since the passage of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980. A census of sixty-five common carriers was conducted through the use of a mail survey. Simple, but meaningful, dependent and independent variables were established to test several hypotheses.
