General

This is a quarterly survey and is sent out in March (pricing for January, February and March), June (pricing for April, May and June), September (pricing for July, August and September) and December (pricing for October, November and December).
The prices are aggregated to compile the For-hire Motor Carrier Freight Services Price Index (FHMCFSPI). The index measures the changes in prices of For-hire Motor Carrier Freight Services under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 484 – truck transportation services.  Businesses use these indexes to gain a better understanding of their industry and assess their performance, while Statistics Canada uses these indexes to deflate current dollar values and derive real growth and productivity from this sector of the economy.

There is a return envelope enclosed for your completed questionnaire. We ask that you return it within 15 days of receipt. If you prefer it is possible to complete the survey by telephone or you may fax it to us at the number on the cover page.

Your input is important to ensure data accuracy. Once received, the data reported on your questionnaire are confidential.  The published data are in aggregate form ensuring our respondent, business, and price information remains confidential.

This first survey sets up the specifications that will be priced through time. We ask that you choose three different services (hauls) that are representative of your company under the NAICS where most of your revenue comes from. This could be either NAICS 48411- general local, 48412- general long distance (for the purpose of this survey long distance is greater than 50 miles or 80 kilometres), 48421- moving, 48422-specialized local, or 48423 specialized long distance (greater than 50 miles or 80 kilometers). Please choose services and customers that are representative and that can be priced for each month. It is important that the prices given for each month are for the same service (set of specifications) through time.  If a service you choose to price for the survey is LTL (less than truck load), please only show pricing for that particular service, not the full truck if you have more than one LTL on the same truck. For example if your shipment consists of two LTL, a 2000 lb LTL and a  6000 LTL, then only track one of those.

You will notice an area in the top right on pages 4, 6, and 8 “Service Description for substitution”. This area is used if the service you are pricing is no longer available. In this case, please provide another set of service specifications that may be priced into the future. If pricing for the original service is unavailable only for a month or two, we ask that you provide an estimate for the original service for the missing months until the service is back.

(It is possible to report in US dollars but if you need to please state that it is US dollars underneath the amount. If US funds are reported, any discounts or surcharges can only be shown in percentage values.)

If this transaction has a discount(s) please tick the type. The value may be reported in dollars “$” or percent “%” in the spaces provided.
It is important that you tick “Yes” if the amount is already included in the PRICE or tick “No” if the amount has to be deducted from the price to come to the total price.
If this transaction has a surcharge(s) please tick the type. The value may be reported in dollars “$” or percent “%” in the spaces provided.
It’s important that you tick “Yes” if the amount is already included in the PRICE or tick “No” if the amount needs to be added to the price to come to the total price.
If there were no discounts applied to this price, please tick “Not applicable”.
If there are no surcharges applied to this price, please tick “Not applicable”.

Note: After each month of pricing information there is an area for “reason for price change”. For any price change from the previous month please indicate whether the price change was due to:

• change to the contract
• change in service or terms
• market conditions
• labour costs
• annual price change
• competition
• fuel
• other reasons-please explain.
