Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an informative overview of the 58th annual report of the Interstate Commerce Commission submitted to Congress in 1944, which was an especially significant year due to the dominant influence of the war on the transportation industry and economy. With engaging prose, the author details topics such as war-related adjustments in railway, motor carrier, pipeline, and water carrier service, as well as government intervention to ensure the uninterrupted flow of goods and personnel. It delves into how the increased demand for transportation influenced operating revenues, expenses, and net income, as well as policy changes made by companies and regulators to meet these challenges. The author also covers government oversight of carriers, including competitive bidding and debt reduction measures. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of transportation in the United States, particularly during wartime, and provides important insights into the interplay between government and industry in managing complex systems under extraordinary circumstances.
