Book excerpt: 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 excerpt: 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.

Download or read book A Productivity Study of For-hire Intercity Trucking - 1978-1988 written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For-hire trucking is of vital and increasing importance in providing freight transportation services to the Canadian economy. It is also undergoing a period of rapid change as a result of deregulation. This paper's aim is to provide a clear picture of how the industry is currently functioning. It is hoped that in so doing it will be creating a baseline for future comparisons. The study found that during the 1978-1988 period the firms in the for-hire intercity trucking industry's composite output grew at about 7 percent per year. Overall, intercity freight rose more than did the GDP in the decade. The firms operating ratio rose at the beginning of the 1980s, but then declined again, though not generally to the levels of the late 1970s. Capital services grew at close to the same rate as composite output, but economies were realized in the areas of labour, fuel, and material inputs other than fuel. Owner-operators played a large role in the industry and permitted firms to change output levels without changing their levels of capital and labour by a proportionate account. Total productivity grew at a rate of about 4 percent per year. The largest increase in productivity lay in the area of labour services. Improvements in fuel productivity were slower than might have been expected and this may be due to frequent carelessness in attempting to realize the possible gains from using fuel efficiently. During the decade there was a decrease in capital productivity. This may have been due to a substitution of capital for labour, but there is also evidence that points towards the decline being due to changes in the age mix of the equipment fleet.

Book Synopsis North American Freight Transportation by : Mary R. Brooks
Download or read book North American Freight Transportation written by Mary R. Brooks and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heightened awareness of North America's vulnerability to terrorism in the aftermath of 9/11 has precipitated a crisis for transport suppliers and cargo owners, one that jeopardizes economic prosperity. Mary Brooks examines one industry sector of the North American economic relationship - transportation services - from the perspectives of transport supplier, cargo owner and policymaker. Ensuring security in international transportation without compromising operational effectiveness is a delicate balancing act. There is concern that economic benefits from NAFTA and the Canada-US Trade Agreement may have been diminished by the current security focus of American officials. The author addresses these concerns, beginning with a history of NAFTA and subsequent continental economic integration. Succeeding chapters provide an economic and regulatory assessment of the North American transport network, and examine key issues for both cargo interests and surface transport suppliers. The issues of perimeter security and growing regionalization are also explored. The author closes with a discussion of North America's transportation future under the Security and Prosperity Partnership. The unique insights of North American Freight Transportation will be of interest to policymakers, those in the transport sector, as well as researchers and practitioners in political science and trade economics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB Special Report 227 - New Trucks for Greater Productivity and Less Road Wear: An Evaluation of the Turner Proposal evaluates the approach to regulation of the size and weight of trucks using U.S. roads known as the Turner Proposal. This approach had its origin in a proposal put forth in a 1984 address to AASHTO by former Federal Highway Administrator Francis C. Turner. The approach evaluated by the committee differs in an important respect from Turner's original concept: in the committee's approach, use of the new trucks would be voluntary; that is, truck operators would be offered the choice of continuing with existing equipment and weight rules or adopting the new trucks with the new weight regulations. The committee designed a package of changes in size and weight limits, safety restrictions, and procedures regarding bridge deficiencies, routing, and enforcement that would be a practical regulatory scheme for implementing the Turner concept. The committee recommends that every state, with careful assessment of the risks and uncertainties, consider this proposal as a supplement to current size and weight regulations. If Turner trucks were adopted in all states according to the recommended rules, they would reduce the cost of shipping freight and would not degrade safety. The total cost of maintaining the road system would be reduced, although pavement wear savings would be partially offset by higher bridge costs. The committee that carried out this study identified two truck configurations outside the weight and length limits established by federal law that would offer greater productivity without increasing infrastructure or safety costs. These vehicles formed the basis for the configurations recommended in a later (2002) TRB report, Special Report 267: Regulation of Weights, lengths, and Widths of Commercial Motor Vehicles.
