We're having a lot of challenges right now. It's not a good situation. Freight volumes are way down.
Fortunately, I'm surrounded by a great team here, and we work for a number of fantastic folks who are on the front lines of this. Things are dire right now. There are too many trucks and not enough freight. There are a lot of challenges, as folks will tell you, with rate pressure.
To your point about the supply chain looking for further cost reductions, it is a challenge. It's exacerbated by the fact that approximately 30% of the business or the industry—and let's be frank here—is in the underground economy or in the full grip of Driver Inc. If you're a legitimate operator, you're having a really hard time.
It's hard to truck the right way now, as we say. We need help. We need ESDC to step up. We certainly need CRA to step up. We need the reinstatement of the T4A, which is the paper trail between two contractors. There's been a moratorium for a long time.
We need help. With the pre-budget study...and to everybody on the line here on the government side or amongst the government, certainly we're having some challenges. We've clearly outlined what the challenges are. We've just seen a lot of non-action.
For folks who want to run their businesses legally and compliantly, we can't figure out why the laws aren't being enforced, particularly by those two organizations. We can't figure it out.
Thank you.
