I am seeing cross border truck load rates increase.
Us mainland to Alaska has already jumped 30% on loads I am looking at.

Slow Rolling Trucker Vaccine Protest Begins At Manitoba U.S. Border Crossing

Global News is reporting on a slow moving vaccine protest by truckers at the Manitoba, Canada-U.S border crossing.

(Global News) – […] “Truck drivers are circling MB-75 between Emerson Duty Free and the Commercial Inspection station blocking all lanes heading south to the United States and Northbound traffic coming from the USA,” Throp said.

In a video sent to Global News by Dawn Davey, trucks can be seen slowly driving on Hwy. 75 and horns are blasting. (read more)

The Canadian vaccine mandate for cross-border truck drivers began Saturday, January 15. The U.S. vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers begins January 22nd.

Hm. Canada sends a fair amount of lumber down to the states. How much in the way of food/goods?

[…] “If we remove a fifth of that workforce, we’re going to see shortages on shelves and we’re going to see inflation of prices, because the cost to bring this stuff here is going to go up.” (read more)

Loaded both ways or go back to Canada empty , which rarely happens.
Canadian trucks cannot move loads with in the US by law.
Only border moves.

Lumber, plywood, osb, paper products, wood pellets, rock salt, maple syrup, greenhouse tomatoes, petroleum products, smoked salmon, Christmas trees,

These are the items that I personally know of that ship from Canada into the US. I am sure there are hundreds I do not know about.

[woodbutcher1963]

Typically Canadian truckers do not leave for the US until they have a return load back into Canada. I see this all the time with trucks of lumber. They pick up the lumber at the mill in BC and then bring it to a holding yard. Then they bring it into the states when they have a return load. This means many times the mill we invoice us and the loads sits somewhere for a week or two. I have had loads over a month between pick up in BC and delivery into MN.

Lots of dairy products come in from Canada.

[woodbutcher1963]

Lots of auto parts are made in Ontario and shipped to assembly plants in the US/MI.
At one point, F150s were mostly made in Windsor, Ontario.

Another very important Canadian import is BEER. Labatts, Molson and others.

Something good from all tis nonsense, is that NAFTA might actually be destroyed! To hell with NAFTA!

We spend a lot of time in upstate NY near the border. In normal times, lots of rigs run up and down route 87, loaded with everything from food to forest products. Construction materials and paper goods are huge cross-border shipments. Loss of Canadian tourism has hit the region pretty hard already, especially the marinas near Montreal. This will hit construction and other industries like a sledge hammer.

It's unlucky for us because we have a cottage up there that needs a new roof. We'd hoped to do an expansion at the same time, but now I suspect we'll be lucky to get roofing material and the cost and availability of materials will kill the dream of expanding.

Yes, flatbed lumber loads are quite different than van trailer or reefer loads.
Michigan and NY crossing are constant down and back loads at border crossing for van and reefer with no delays.

"Hm. Canada sends a fair amount of lumber down to the states. How much in the way of food/goods?"

Lots of canola oil, along with processed foods. Forestry products include construction materials and an essential item in every home - toilet paper.

I take that personal - “The damn Kulaks aren’t dying fast enough with the vaxx, let’s try starving them.” I’m Slavic and my family (what’s left of them) in the old country were considered Kulaks. My grandparents escaped, other relatives weren’t so lucky.

Well. Alaska is screwed.

When the shelves empty, there’s only one person to blame:

Dominic Leblanc

This is who needs to field the questions about why the shelves are bare. Just so everyone knows who to ask.

And you wonder why they shut down the various oil pipelines moving oil from Canada.....

No Premium gas at Sam's Club in Denver burbs....for the last week!
