``Transportation,'' as used in section 13(b)(16), refers to the
movement by any means of conveyance of fruits or vegetables from the
farm to a place of first processing or first marketing in the same
State. It includes only those activities which are immediately necessary
to move the fruits or vegetables to the specified points and the return
trips. Drivers, drivers' helpers, loaders, and checkers perform work
which is exempt. Transportation ends with delivery at the receiving
platform of the place to which the fruits or vegetables are transported.
(Mitchell v. Budd, 350 U.S. 473.) Thus, unloading at the delivery point
by employees who did not transport the commodities would not be a part
of the transportation activities under section 13(b)(16).
