I found a really neat website that has oodles of information available.
I found the following information. This is the number of truck crossings from Ontario into the US. The latest data point is May 2025 but I'm sure that this trend is continuing through June, July and now August. Truck crossings from Ontario to the US is down 11% from May 2025 vs May 2024. Another interesting tidbit is that in the same period the Bluewater bridge has increased their crossings while the Ambassador bridge has decreased which points to why the BWB is just a disaster all the time. BWB is up 11k while AMB is down 33k for the same period.
I know I don't have to tell you that the freight market is depressed but now you know by how much.
