Here you can see how NAFTA looks geographically and most popular corridors.
This agreement has mainly affected the sectors of agriculture, textile and automotive industries. It is the agreement which has opened a new era of trade and exchange of services between the three countries, eliminating the old Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement between America and Canada.
NAFTA has increased the overall volume of trade between the three countries which in turn requires larger trucking services. Before NAFTA, there were high trade barriers between the countries. NAFTA has helped remove many of them. A great benefit of NAFTA to the shipping companies has been that now the goods do not have to wait that much on the borders for custom clearance.
The NAFTA certificate of origin helps a lot to get the custom clearance in time and let the gods be passed the border. Crossing the border for shipping the border has also become easier due to it. Before NAFTA the companies interested in cross border shipping of their products preferred shipment via air. It was costly. After the implementation of NAFTA, the trucking industry has got a boost as now most of the products are shipped by trucks.
