Toronto is conveniently positioned within one day's trucking drive of crucial markets in both Canada and the United States - one reason why the city has a worldwide reputation for being an important commercial centre. Ontario, with 39 per cent of the Canadian population, accounts for 43 per cent of truck travel, 43 per cent of for-hire trucking revenues, 54 per cent of the total for-hire international truck tonnage, and 63 per cent of all truck trips that cross the Canada-United States border.
