Area conservation was eventually abandoned by Heritage Canada owing to problems in achieving broadly based co-operation from all the players, as well as the fact that legislation and planning practices during the late 1970s favoured development over preservation.

 Les voies du changement: l’emploi dans l’industrie du camionnage au Canada, 1988-1994
Lorsque la LTR est entrée en vigueur en 1988, l’économie canadienne abordait les deux dernières années d’une tendance à la hausse qui avait débuté au début des années 80; l’activité du camionnage augmente et diminue en fonction des changements de l’économie, en raison d’un décalage d’environ six mois.
Ce changement a été reconnu dans une étude en 1990 parrainée par Développement des ressources humaines Canada et qui évaluait les besoins en ressources humaines de l’industrie du camionnage.
Bien que le nombre des diplômés ait augmenté de 230 % de 1988 à 1994, ces personnes représentent encore seulement 20 % de tous les camionneurs employés.

Son apport à l’économie du Canada, qui s’établissait à seulement 28 % en 1989, s’est considérablement accru en 1994 pour passer à 38 % du PIB.
Les principales catégories de marchandises expédiées au Canada ont été les véhicules automobiles routiers, les produits chimiques et connexes, le fret général et non classé, le fer, l’acier et les alliages, ainsi que les légumes et les préparations à base de légumes.
Le succès des entrepreneurs domiciliés au Canada a été partiellement attribuable au fait que, les États-Unis ayant connu une phase expansionniste pendant la majeure partie de cette période, les entreprises de camionnage américaines étaient trop actives sur les marchés intérieurs pour chercher à accroître leur part du marché transfrontalier (ONT, 1993).
