This pioneering work by William Augello has become the best source of information for the transportation and logistics industry. It not only relates the transportation law and regulations, carrier tariffs and practices governing transportation and logistics in today's environment, it also focuses on the problem areas that have resulted in disputes and litigation and suggests how these pitfalls can be avoided.

The book provides insight into most important transportation law, rules, regulations, treaties and practices remaining in today's "deregulated" environment. It includes more that 1000 citations to court decisions, statutes and regulations and transportation laws.

It covers real-world experiences during the author's 50 years of practicing transportation law, during which he counseled shippers and their trade associations, carriers, brokers and freight forwarders on a wide variety of problems.

William J. Augello passed away on the morning of November 19, 2006 at his home in Marana, AZ. Bill was diagnosed earlier in the fall with an aggressive form of neuroendocrine cancer. Bill's fascination with the law and his desire to share it with others continued throughout his illness virtually until the day of his passing.
