Book Description
Comparison of the historic and current productivity performance of the Canadian and United States for-hire trucking industries, and discussion of the implications for competition for transborder traffic. The report discuses the creation of a reasonably comparable set of data from disparate sources in Canada and the U.S., then develops time series of key productivity indicators for both countries from 1978-88, assessing differences in national and sectoral performance within each country. The evolution of key input prices is considered to trace the efficacy of both productivity changes and other factors on costs/rates. The performance of the national trucking industries of Canada and the U.S. are described and the implications of this for transborder competition are considered. The study estimates the magnitude of transborder trucking, in particular historic growth and recent (1988) traffic structure for Canadian-domiciled carriers, and considers the possible impact of truck weight and dimension regulations, economic regulation, cabotage rules, truck regulations such as safety, trucking regulations such as dangerous goods, other regulations such as labour, truck technology, and freight flows on future domestic and transborder productivity and competitiveness.

Book Description
Competition between the Canadian and American for-hire trucking industries has been one of the major transportation issues of the post-deregulation era. This paper presents some preliminary conclusions and outstanding research issues concerning the productivity performance of the Canadian and U.S. for-hire trucking industries in the period following deregulation in the United States and ending with the first year following the passage of the Motor Vehicle Transportation Act (1988). Among the issues encountered in the course of the research were differences between Canada and the United States in the reporting of broker activities, differences in carrier classification, and the lack of a single all-encompassing measure of trucking productivity which is adequate for all segments of the industry, in particular the limited value of weight-based productivity measures in a period of changing commodity densities. The study considered a number of factors which may affect the productivity of either the domestic and/or transborder trucking industries. These were truck weight and dimension regulations, economic regulation, cabotage rules, truck regulations (safety, emissions), trucking regulations (dangerous goods), other regulations (highway, labour), truck technology, and freight flows. In particular, we attempted to identify factors which might give an advantage to either Canada or the United States. While most of these factors clearly affect domestic productivity, our assessment is that in general the impact will be comparable on both sides of the border. One possibe exception is trucking weight and dimension regulations, where it is probable, depending on the decisions of American legislators, that the increases in limits will be greater in the U.S. However, the effects of the RTAC weights and dimensions regulations are still working their way through the Canadian for-hire fleet. In addition, the impact of liberalized American regulations on transborder competition are by no means evident. For the covering abstract of the Conference, see IRRD Abstract No. 807771.
