Our 2025 statistics guide provides industry members with insights on how Canada’s freight sector weathered a challenging year filled with uncertainties— and what carriers can expect in 2026.

From equipment replacement cycles and tariff pressures to spot market trends and shifting capacity, this year’s guide highlights how fleets are adjusting strategies in a softer freight environment.

We also surveyed fleet managers about their equipment buying plans for 2026. Purchasing decisions are shaped by prolonged freight recessions and regulatory hurdles. More than 70% of respondents said tariffs will influence next year’s buying decisions — including equipment brand choices — and fleets expect to replace an average of just 13% of tractors and 8% of trailers.

This year, the guide comes online for the first time. Its interactive format allows you to read our editorial analysis and industry leader forecasts, as well as explore survey findings and data charts — all in one place. Hover your mouse over the interactive graphics to bring them to life.
