    Competitive Landscape Brief

    Demand is driven by consumer spending and manufacturing output. The profitability of individual companies depends on efficient operations. Large companies have advantages in account relationships, bulk fuel purchasing, fleet size, and access to drivers. Small operations can compete effectively by providing quick turnaround, serving a local market, or transporting unusually sized goods. The industry is labor-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is $145,000. In addition to domestic consumption and production, US truck transportation depends heavily on free trade through NAFTA. Trade with Canada and Mexico represents about one-third of all US trade. The top gateway for truck transport between the US and Canada is Detroit; the top gateway for US-Mexico truck transport is Laredo, Texas. Cross-border congestion is a problem for trucking companies specializing in NAFTA-related trade. Movement to or from Canada and Mexico can often be hampered by long lines and lengthy inspection processes. Trucking competes with other forms of cargo transportation, including rail, air, and water. However, the shift toward intermodal transportation means that these modes of delivery are often more complementary than competitive.
