Description

This appeal raises important questions under the Motor Carrier Act of 1980, P.L. 96-296, 49 U.S.C. Â§ 10101, et seq. (the 1980 Act). Reference is made to the opinion in American Trucking Associations, Inc. v. Interstate Commerce Commission, 659 F.2d 452 (5th Cir. 1981), where Judge Alvin B. Rubin set forth in detail a discussion of legislative background and an analysis of the Act. In brief, Section 2 states that the purpose of the Act is to carry forward the continuing efforts by Congress to reduce unnecessary federal regulation. Section 3 presents congressional findings that in certain instances the previous regulatory structure of the motor carrier industry has tended to inhibit market entry, carrier growth and maximum utilization of equipment and facilities, and that protective regulation has resulted in some operating inefficiencies and anti-competitive pricing. Section 4 of the Act amends the National Transportation Policy by substituting for a previous section a somewhat different statement of policy with respect to the transportation of property by motor carriers. The issues presented in this case require application of some of the provisions of Section 5(a) of the Act, 49 U.S.C. Â§ 10922 (1982 U.S.C.A. pamphlet), which concerns "motor carrier entry policy."
