Inc., To Withdraw Its Common Stock, No Par Value, From Listing and

    On March 1, 2005, Vitran Corporation Inc., an Ontario corporation 
(``Issuer''), filed an application with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) 
thereunder,\2\ to withdraw its common stock, no par value 
(``Security''), from listing and registration on the American Stock 
Exchange LLC (``Amex'').

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On October 20, 2004, the Board of Directors (``Board'') of the 
Issuer unanimously approved a resolution to withdraw the Security from 
listing and registration on Amex and to list the Security on the Nasdaq 
National Market Systems (``Nasdaq''). The Issuer stated that it 
believes withdrawing the Security from Amex and listing on Nasdaq will 
offer increased visibility and liquidity in the financial markets. The 
Issuer will also have the advantage of being listed on Nasdaq with a 
majority of its peer group. The Issuer stated that trading in the 
Security on Nasdaq began March 7, 2005.
    The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the 
requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in 
effect in the Province of Ontario, Canada, in which it is incorporated, 
and with the Amex's rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of 
a security from listing and registration.
    The Issuer's application relates solely to withdrawal of the 
Security from listing on the Amex and from registration under Section 
12(b) of the Act,\3\ and shall not affect its obligation to be 
registered under Section 12(g) of the Act.\4\

    Any interested person may, on or before April 4, 2005, comment on 
the facts bearing upon whether the application has been made in

be imposed by the Commission for the protection of investors. All
