"We have a few drivers that still say no, but what we do with them is we just keep them in Canada" -- a strategy adopted by several large transport outfits but less available to smaller ones.
"The biggest issue for us really in January is sick people in the U.S. with COVID" -- particularly at TForce Freight, the massive transporter of smaller packages and cargo previously known as UPS Freight that TFI bought from United Parcel Service for US$800 million last year -- Bedard said. Meanwhile, cars were moving again at border crossings in Coutts, Alta., and the Ambassador Bridge between Windsor, Ont., and Detroit on Tuesday morning after anti-vaccine mandate demonstrations blocked traffic on Monday night.
The decline, which averages out to 6.3 per cent in the two weeks after the trucker vaccine deadline, marks a steeper drop than in preceding years. But 2019 saw cross-border big-rig figures fall 5.4 per cent in the two weeks after mid-January compared with the preceding week, and 2021 also saw a slight drop in the final two weeks of the month.
Amid heightened demand for goods and materials during the COVID-19 pandemic, TFI reported that profits shot up to US$144.1 million in the quarter ended Dec. 31 from US$86.3 million a year earlier.
my ex was a trucker and most smaller companies either do local (Canadian) runs, or runs to US but not both.. so if your hired to go to US and now you can't, you would get fired
then read your own news againt vaccination
But he makes it one
This isn’t a trucker movement. It’s an unvaccinated movement
Had your “journalists” working around the clock to find this guy right?
Think again CandaceTv
The event in Ottawa is mostly a matter of American extreme right with some truckers being a minor matter. Foreign countries has no business being in our country.
Keep covid restrictions
Justin we have a problem in Windsor. Can you cut your BLM meeting short and deal with this?
Lol
CTV lieing again
Of course. Because the CEO is exempt from the mandates. What a 🤡!
because that isn't what this is about! This is a coup, planned and executed by extremists with support from the CPC (Pierre Poutine, we're looking at you) and GOP. They've been planning it for months, but we have kids running government who have no knowledge, or understanding
Right so a guy has an opinion. I can respect that. Doesn’t make it facts.
