US Industry Description The United States holds a comparative advantage over both Mexico and Canada in the trucking industry, largely due to the industry's use of advanced technology (satellite tracking, global positioning systems, and Electronic Data Interchange systems) and a highly efficient cost management system. The United States is in position to have an overpowering presence in the Mexican market and will provide stiff competition for the Canadian trucking firms. Also advantageous for the US is its central geographical position relative to the other two countries.
