The results of our 1996 joint study with Niagara University were presented. The study measured the extent to which quality initiatives have been undertaken by US and Canadian carriers and the degree to which they differ. These included the continuing growth of this type of freight, the changes in operations that are needed, the increase in costs and the approaches being used to offset or recover the costs. Financial Condition of the US and Canadian Transport Industries - Operating results of US and Canadian LTL and TL carriers were presented. We wish to express our thanks to Link Logistics for the opportunity to present and to those participants who made our time worthwhile.
