The value of U.S.-Canada freight flows increased 7.1% to $582.4 billion between 2016 and 2017, but the value of trucks\u2019 share (58%) decreased by 2.4 percentage points, according to the U.S. Dept of Transportation.<\/p>\n

The modal shares of rail and air also decreased, both down 0.1% percentage points. Pipeline\u2019s share rose by 2.2 percentage points while vessel rose 0.6 points, both due in part to an increase in the year-over-year price of crude oil in 2017.<\/p>\n

Trucks carried 50.1% of the $300 billion of goods imported from Canada in 2017, followed by rail, 20.6%; pipeline, 17.2%; vessel, 5%; and air, 3.8%. Trucks carried 65.7% of the $282.5 billion of goods exported to Canada, followed by rail, 11.5%; air, 5.6%; pipeline, 3.5%; and vessel, 2.8%.<\/p>\n

Michigan led all U.S.-Canada Border states serving as a gateway for 38.3% of freight carried between the U.S. and Canada in 2017, handling $222.8 billion, an increase of 5.2%. Minnesota ports of entry had the largest percentage increase among northern border states, growing 20.8% over 2016.<\/p>\n

The top commodity category transported between the U.S. and Canada in 2017 was vehicles and parts valued at $107.4 billion with $60.7 billion or 56.5% moved by truck and $43.7 billion or 40.7% moved by rail.<\/p>\n

Overall, trucking posted the biggest loss of the five major transportation modes when it came to the value of U.S. freight moved between both NAFTA partners, Canada and Mexico last year.<\/p>\n

Its 2.2% drop in 2017 from 2016 came as rail declined 0.2% and air fell by 0.1%.<\/p>\n

Despite the decline, trucks continued to be the most heavily utilized mode for moving goods to and from both Canada and Mexico, carrying 63.3% of the freight transported. Trucks accounted for $720.8 billion of the $1.1 trillion in freight flows with Canada and Mexico in 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
