Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Aug. 1, 1977
Report No. CED-77-104
Subject
Summary:

Aspects of the Interstate Commerce Commission's (ICC's) regulation of household goods carriers that need improvement relate to publications issued to inform shippers, compliance efforts, and carrier performance.

Information published by the ICC to inform and educate the shipper about household moves is lengthy, detailed, and sometimes confusing. The usefulness of performance reports is questionable, and they have not been audited for accuracy. Improvements are needed in the compliance program to see that the ICC's regulatory mission is effectively implemented, particularly in determining which carriers to survey, survey procedures, and developing consistent compliance and performance standards.
