Rural trucking industry facing tough times
The Manitoba Transport Board approved a Winnipeg company to haul CP Rail trailers into rural Manitoba, a move critics say threatens rural trucking. Rural carriers have fallen from 140 in 1970 to under 50 today, with opposition from 15 truckers at the hearing and claims of deregulation harming the sector. Don Norquay notes fewer firms but job shifts to new owners. See Trucking on page 2.
