The purpose of this thesis is to review the QUICKTRANS system with
respect to loss and damage. The question has arisen concerning the amount
of loss and damage which occurs on the system and what should be done if it
is excessive. This review will consist of an examination of the manuals
and directives concerning the general operations, and more specifically,
the procedures designed to control the freight in the system. The procedxires
as they are designed will be compared to actual observations of the system in an attempt to identify problems. The loss and damage which
occurs will be evaluated to determine if the amount is excessive, based
on similar commercial service, and alternatives will be discussed for
reducing that which does occur.
