Why is Chicago drayage the highest in demand? Large volume of long-haul dray (+100 mile) Severely cold weather slowing things down Days with high temp less than 15 °F Jan 1 -7, 13 -17; Feb 5 -14 9 straight days of snow totaling 18. 3 inches Feb 3 -11 Overall increase in freight volume, including cross-towns 35

Miscellaneous Federal tax on gas was last raised in 1993 80, 000 lbs. United States gross limit (started 1981) 97, 000 lbs. Europe limit (44 tons) 103, 000 lbs. Canada average limit (46. 5 tons) (western province of Alberta, Canada: 140, 000 lbs. /63, 500 kilograms) 107, 000 lbs. Mexico limit (Mexico can do 107. . and U. S. only 8 o? ) (48. 5 tons) 129, 000 lbs. permits in Utah, Nevada, Idaho (United States is a patchwork of state issued overweight permits and policies) (too bad the total gross weight limit wasn’t increased to compensate for ELD effect) 36

Final Comments April could see another spike in demand due to ELD- Electronic Logging Device enforcement Warehouse and construction jobs are competition to driving jobs Increase in infrastructure spending will increase demand for that type of trucking and that kind of labor, less drivers doing drayage (remember the oil fracking boom) Freight volume continues to grow until interest rates and inflation rise, ending the freight boom. 37
