ICC Ruling Inconsistent
Says Marketing Specialist
The Interstate Commerce Commission’s decisionson what farm products can or cannot be shipped by ICC-exempt carriers are described as “inconsistent” by Dr. J, L. Maxton, marketing specialist at VPI.
Existing regulated motor truck service has been inadequate in marketing Virginia’s agricultural products, because the service has no flexibility and many of the products are extremely perishable, Maxton says.
Apparently the inadequacy was in the “mind of Congress” when specific exemptions were provided for in the Interstate Commerce Act, he says.
However, the exemptions as
specialist believes.
For instance:
Trees which have been felled and those trimmed, cut to length, peeled or split, are exempt.
Oil the other hand, poultry which has been killed and eviscerated is not exempt.
“Is killing a chicken and removing its feathers and viscera any different from felling a live tree and trimming its 'branches?” is the question posed by Dr. Maxton.
Likewise, baled cotton lint after it has been ginned and pressed is exempt; but shelled peanuts sue not.
