Q: Very curious about your response yesterday on TFI International when you stated "Backhaul is really bad, but this is also a tariff situation (nothing is coming back to Canada)." What would these truckers normally haul back to Canada i.e. industrial or consumer products? Just curious if the Canadian sentiment to avoid buying US goods is having an impact.
