It's remained more or less steady. People who belong to trade associations or companies tend to be a little better at running their businesses than those who don't. The industry has seen a lot of capacity leave the marketplace through business failure and, in the last year, through merger and acquisition activity.
From a business perspective, Claude is absolutely right in saying that things are slow, but there is more of an equilibrium in terms of the capacity and the volume than perhaps there was in the past. Because we've gotten rid of capacity, we're hanging in there.
I think we can remain optimistic about trucking. It may shrink as a sector, and it certainly has in the last few years, but whatever moves, whatever people consume, we will ship.
For 20 years our growth was stateside, moving south, and that market has.... Well, it started prior to 2008, when we saw the dollar appreciate by about 20% six or seven years ago. We could see the shift in the economy before the economists did, and it's going to be hard to come back.
The northbound marketplace is, oddly, relatively strong. Things have sort of turned on their head because the Americans are producing, and Canada's been a good market for them with the problems they've been having in their own marketplace. As a result, there are opportunities to bring freight back from the U.S., but you have to have a truck down there in the first place, and we still operate under some very archaic cabotage laws in terms of what you can do in the other country. To have a truck that just happens to be within 50 miles of that load that's coming north is problematic.
