Border-crossing trucks move $34.1 billion in November freight

Trucks moved US£34.1 billion in freight across the Canada-U.S. border in November 2022, according to the latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics. The top three truck ports included crossings between Ontario and Michigan at Detroit (£10.2 billion) and Port Huron (£5.5 billion), and the crossing at Buffalo, N.Y. (£5.3 billion).

All figures are in U.S. dollars. The top commodities moved by trucks included computers and parts (£5.5 billion), vehicles and parts (£4.5 billion), and electrical machinery (£2.3 billion). When combined with those that crossed the U.S.-Mexico border, trucks moved £78.6 billion in transborder freight - up from £73.5 billion in November 2021.

But the total was still down 5.7% when compared to October 2022. The North American transborder freight moved by all transportation modes amounted to £125.8 billion overall, with £63.8 billion of that traveling between Canada and the U.S. That's up 3.3% compared to November 2021.
