• Canada has fifty-two metropolitan areas that the
  common-carrier industry services. These
  metropolitan areas have a population of over
  50,000 with smaller areas of 4250. These regions,
  as well as any US cities that have a population
  of at least 47,000, are reached by either direct
  service to shippers or by way of service from one
  carrier to another. This is how products are
  transported by land until they reach the point of
  final delivery. The shipper/consignee is liable
  for paying freight charges. The carrier then
  gathers these funds and distributes them equally
  among all the participating carriers. The
  carrier revenue totals were approximately 9.99
  billion in 1992.
• Canadian for-hire trucks carry five specific
  commodities. These commodities are sand, gravel,
  crude stone, pulpwood chips, logs and bolts,
  lumber, sawn timber, and fuel oil. Carriers that
  specialize in long-distance hauls promise that
  when a shipment leaves Toronto, it will arrive in
  Vancouver 70 hours later.
• The Canadian trucking industry not only does
  business in Canada, but also in the United
  States.
• An estimated 70 of all manufactured goods moved
  between Canada and the United States are
  transported by truck. When in the United States,
  carriers must adhere to all regulations set forth
  by both Canada and the United States.

• Canada is prepared to take over all the trade
  prospects that are presently appearing from
  rising economies. It is ready to operate as the
  gateway to North America. Canadas
  transportation system is well-organized and
  includes varied services.
• The United States continues to be Canadas
  primary trade partner. Making some changes to how
  trade is handled with other countries will have a
  direct impact on the transportation, warehousing,
  and logistics uses that are available on any
  unusual trade routes.
• As new technology is developed and adopted, the
  result is more effectiveness and dependability as
  well as the maintenance of a safe and secure
  transportation mode. In an attempt to create a
  competitive advantage, companies are continuously
  developing new technology and innovative
  processes. Their primary goals are to reduce
  cost, improve services and reduce their carbon
  footprints.

Canadian Trucking Companies

• Canada depends on their export products for most
  of the nations revenue nicknamed by North
  America as The Great White North Canada has
  exported goods valued at 420.6 billion USD in
  the year 2017. This amount is a decrease of 7.9
  from the 2013 numbers, however the numbers are up
  8.1 for the years 2016 and 2017.
• The goods that Canada exports amounts to 31.4 of
  the Canadian Gross Domestic Product.
• Canadian exports from the viewpoint of the entire
  continent is 77.4 which were delivered to the
  two countries that are partners of Canada per the
  North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)this
  partners are the United States and Mexico. These
  countries can thank the trucking companies of
  Canada for being able to deliver exported
  products these countries request in an expedient
  manner.
• Canadian trucking companies are responsible for
  delivering the bulk of Canadas export products
  to the United States and Mexico. Not only does
  the trucking industry get exports delivered in a
  timely fashion, the trucking industry in Canada
  is the most common occupation of Canadian men
  with more than 227,000 truck drivers in Canada.

Freight Shipping

• The Internet of Things (IoT) The internet is
  helping to keep track of where shipments are and
  their estimated time of arrival (ETA). This is
  done with the use of a computerized chip, a
  reader, a database, and a cloud-based GPS
  systemknown as radio based technology. The
  freight industry now has the capability to track
  a shipment as well as the condition of the
  products. No more scanning barcodes or checking
  confirmation receipts. With the aid of this new
  technology , a shipment will be received
  automatically. The company who ships the product
  and the consumer who is receiving the package can
  verify shipment and track it all the way to its
  point of delivery.
• Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) All
  commercial trucks and busses are mandated by the
  Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
  (FMCSA) to utilize these devices. This device is
  meant as a way of streamlining service and
  increasing safety. The ELD device is expected to
  save the industry 1.6 billion per year. This
  savings extends to a reduced amount of paperwork,
  a reduction in the downtime of trucks, a decrease
  in fuel cost and a lower crash rate. This
  mandate is also expected to cut down on the
  number of accident injuries and fatalities.

• Transportation Management Systems (TMS) this
  system was created to aid freight shipment
  agencies in effectively managing their supply
  chains. In the past, this type of technology was
  much too expensive for a freight shipment agency
  to afford. Thankfully, there have been
  advancements to technology, making this system
  more affordable and attainable. The TMS manages
  inbound/outbound scheduling, shipping,
  transportation payments, freight billing/auditing
  and more.
• Self-driving Trucks The promo run by Uber and
  Budweiser was the first driverless delivery made.
  This new technology is supposed to make
  deliveries faster and safer however, some
  companies are not ready to jump on the bandwagon.
  The idea behind self-driving trucks is that the
  truck can drive continuously 24/7allowing the
  real driver of the truck to take breaks and nap
  while the truck stays on the road in driverless
  mode. This autonomous truck is anticipated to
  save money due to less accelerating and brake
  usage, so the truck will have less fuel waste.
• Last-Mile Delivery The last-mile delivery trend
  is expanding more than ever because of the need
  to beat competitors delivery tactics. It is
  more important than ever for companies that work
  in the freight shipping industry to ensure that
  their customers last mile of delivery is as
  short as possible. Companies should stay abreast
  of the changes taking place in the shipping and
  delivery industry and be prepared to keep up with
  the times.

• Autonomous Freight Trucking
• A company named OTTO has created a self-driving
  truck. This would allow the driver to take a nap
  while the truck drives itself, enabling 24/7
  transport of goods. These self-driving trucks
  would also be more cost efficient because there
  would be less fuel waste due to less accelerating
  and braking.
• Transport Drones and the Logistics industry
• Transport drones are quickly becoming a
  widespread mode of delivering goods. However, it
  is still questionable whether or not the use of
  drone delivery is economical and cost effective.
  For instance, a drone currently is only capable
  of delivering one package at a time once the
  delivery is made, the drone must return to home
  base to recharge before taking out another
  package for delivery. When this is compared to a
  UPS or another mode of freight delivery vehicle,
  it doesnt seem to be worth it. A UPS delivery
  truck makes an average of 120 deliveries a day,
  making it the better option at this time.

  also used to refer to train or truck
  shipping. In addition to standing on its own,
  ground shipments may also be necessary when
  transporting cargo by air or sea. Often,
  shipments are moved from cargo to air or sea
  ports. In this case, it is necessary to determine
  the destination of the shipment as well as the
  production resources located near the ports.
• Door-to-door shipment, which is more officially
  known as a multimodal mode of transport, is
  defined as the process by which goods are
  transported directly from the shippers place to

  deliveries in bulk.
