Truck shipments to out-of-state mar- kets have increased considerably since World War II. The volume moved by trucks cannot be determined from offi- cial data because information on this movement is fragmentary. It is known, however, that truck shipments have in- creased considerably and that most of them are destined for markets located in western states. The great bulk of the shipments to more distant markets are still made by rail. Although some mixed cars (containing part loads of other fruits) are loaded, practically all of the interstate shipments consist of straight cars.
