Fresh produce hauling shifted substantially from railroads to trucks in deliveries to 41 major cities between 1963 and 1975. Trucks accounted for 64.3 percent of all tonnage in 1963 and 83.1 percent in 1973. Regional patterns of originations also changed considerably, especially from the Eastern region to Southern and Western regions, while terminal points showed the same regional changes, but on a smaller scale.
