* USA - STB Ends Antitrust Immunity for Trucking Rate Bureaus
The Surface Transportation Board has revoked the authority of motor carriers to engage in collective ratemaking and freight classificationWashington,DC,USA -Transport Topics, by Dan Leone -May 14, 2007: -- This decision could dramatically alter the way many motor carriers set freight rates, said transportation industry officials... The board ruled that collective ratemaking results in an “inevitable . . . reduction in competition” and said the removal of antitrust immunity would “encourage fair competition and reasonable rates by motor carriers”... In its decision, STB said it decided to terminate antitrust immunity for freight classification, in part, because it was concerned that carriers could turn to the classification system as a way to pad revenue...
