Do motor carriers experience economies of scale?


Generally they do not. Trailer sizes are fixed and productivity per employee is difficult to change. Drivers can only handle one or two trailers so increases in business normally require adding more equipment and personnel. Larger carriers may experience some economies of scale since they can purchase in larger quantities but these are minimal.
