Abstract
⺠We identify and quantify principal agent market failures in the trucking industry. ⺠Up to 91% of truck fuel consumption is exposed to a usage principal-agent market failure. ⺠Twenty-three percent of trailers are exposed to an efficiency principal-agent market failure. ⺠These market failures at least partially insulate key decision makers from fuel price signals.
