Book Description
The trucking industries in Canada and the United States have been deregulated on national bases for many years now. Transborder deregulation, however, has not yet been achieved; even in the midst of trade agreements designed to allow for greater ease in moving goods across the Canada-U.S. border. The existence of cabotage regulations, which limit the transport activity of a foreign truck driver and his tractor-trailer while on domestic soil, is a major impediment to transborder deregulation. Chapter 1 provides a history of trucking regulation and deregulation in Canada and the United States along with a discussion concerning how the Canada-U.S. Trade Agreement and the North American Free Trade Agreement have brought the issue of transborder trucking to the fore. Cabotage regulations are carefully outlined and evaluated while the recent "reforms" to these regulations are appraised in the light of potential efficiency gains to transborder truckers. Because of the complicated nature of these regulations, a survey of Canadian trucking firms is provided in order to gauge understanding, compliance and attitudes toward reform. The results obtained impact on the economic theory of regulation that, in general, states that firms understand, and even influence, the body of regulations under which they operate. In chapter 2, a model of the for-hire trucking industry is developed in order to establish the welfare gain accruing from deregulation. The model is also used to show the further welfare gain that is expected to arise from cabotage reform. A supply-side approach is developed using the for-hire industry combined with a representaive trucking firm. The demand-side is developed combining the fronthaul and backhaul markets so that inferences with respect to cabotage reform may be had. The combined supply and demand models provide a useful means for comparing the welfare effects of regulatory change. The implications of the complete model are extended, in chapter 3, by use of.

Book Description
Canada and the United States exchange the world's highest level of bilateral trade, valued at $1.4 billion a day. Two-thirds of this trade travels on trucks. Heavy Traffic examines the way in which the regulatory reform of American and Canadian trucking, coupled with free trade, has internationalized this vital industry. Before deregulation, restrictive entry rules had fostered two separate national highway transportation markets, and most international traffic had to be exchanged at the border. When the United States deregulated first, the imbalance between its opened market and Canada's still-restricted one produced a surprisingly difficult bilateral dispute. American deregulation was motivated by domestic incentives, but the subsequent Canadian deregulation blended domestic incentives with transborder rate comparisons and concerns about trade competitiveness. Daniel Madar shows that deregulation created a de facto regime of free trade in trucking services. Removing regulatory barriers has enabled Canadian and American carriers to follow the expansion of transborder traffic that began with the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement and continues with NAFTA. The services available with deregulated trucking have also supported sweeping changes in industrial logistics. As transborder traffic has surged, the two countries' carriers -- from billion-dollar corporations to family firms -- have exploited the latitude provided by deregulation. This book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the policy processes and economic conditions that led to trucking deregulation. As a study in public policy formation and the international effects of reform, it will be of interest to students and scholars of political economy, international relations, and transportation.
