There were an estimated 3,551 for-hire trucking companies based in Canada with annual revenue of $1 million or more in the third quarter of 2007, down slightly from the third quarter of 2006.
These companies generated operating revenue of $7.1 billion in the third quarter of 2007, down 1.9% from the third quarter of 2006 as a result of lower revenue earned from transborder shipments. Operating expenses ($6.7 billion) recorded a smaller decline. As a result, the operating ratio (operating expenses divided by operating revenues) deteriorated somewhat, moving from 0.93 to 0.94.
