Trucking regulation in Canada : a review of the issues / by Ron Hirshhorn.: EC12-4/1981-26E-PDF
"This study examines the nature and effects of trucking regulation in Canada. The extensive literature in the field of trucking regulation is drawn upon to help answer questions about the competitive implications of trucking technology, and about the influence of regulation on market structure, prices and costs. The study attempts to sort out contradictions that have arisen due to the fact that for-hire trucking in Canada bears some characteristics both of a competitive and an oligopolistic industry. The role of trucking is examined in relation to rail carriage and new estimates are made of the relative importance of for-hire and private trucking"--Summary, p. vii.
