NAFTA truck trade climbs upward

WASHINGTON --Surface transportation trade between the U.S. and Canada totaled $48.9 billion in June, up 8.7 percent compared to the year before, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.

The value of northbound exports carried by truck made up the entire surge, while imports into the U.S. actually dropped half a percentage point.

Michigan led all states in surface trade with Canada in June 2008 with $6.5 billion.

Total surface transportation between the U.S. and both Canada and Mexico was 6.6 percent higher as well, reaching $74.1 billion.

U.S.-Mexico surface transportation trade totaled $25.2 billion this June, up 2.9 percent compared to June 2007.
