What drives Brantford prices
Brantford sits on the Highway 403 corridor and runs on manufacturing. The city's industrial base is what drives its freight traffic and its fuel demand. It is a manufacturing centre, which means trucks move raw material in and finished goods out every day. A manufacturing town on the 403 runs on that steady industrial movement rather than on consumer demand. The corridor ties Brantford into the wider southern Ontario network, and that connection is the main thing shaping the local diesel market.
