Let me add an idea in the spirit of your post. They could ship in these things on both sides of the border and just dump the stuff over both directions.
Problem solved.

It has only just begun..
Effective today, all U.S. and Canadian cross-border truckers must show their vaccination passport in order to deliver their loads. Approximately 15% of Canadian truckers and approximately 50% of U.S. truckers are not vaccinated. The logistics and distribution of food supplies into and out of Canada are collapsing.
Pay attention to the scale of impact in this example. It will only take a few days for this to go from a problem to a full-blown crisis of epic proportions.
CALGARY – “For the product to be right there and not being able to touch it, we’ve never seen it before in the 12 years that we’ve been open,” he said. “The U.S. is full of product, and we just can’t get it up here.”
The produce warehouse in Northeast Calgary routinely received two or three trucks a day to restock their shelves. Now, when they are attempting to import 80 to 90 per cent of their stock from the U.S., they are lucky to get one truck every two or three days.
[…] This has led to shortages in staples their customers have been accustomed to relying on them for like grapes, strawberries and citrus. When they can get some of those items, the price has gone up exponentially. Grapes that used to be 99 cents a pound are now running $4.99 a pound.
With the trucks Freestone can secure, they are focusing on vegetable deliveries, and the cost of those trucks has also skyrocketed. The average truck out of California pre-pandemic cost Freestone $6,000 to 7,000, now it’s costing them $9,000 to 11,000.
[…] Nash said the backlog is already starting to accumulate at the border, estimating about 100 loads a day, noting the Coutts crossing handles about 800 loads a day.
...
OR ELSE!
You are added. Thanks.
We had a vacation a few years ago which included Calgary and then Glacier National Park (on the US side).
The border crossing to Montana was tiny—fortunately we were the only car crossing at the time.
Five trucks would have caused a traffic jam there.
;-)
I saw a flaw in my plan, but I think I solved it. Truck lifts.

I am glad people in Canada are standing up to their tyrannical Government.
“ I am glad people in Canada are standing up to their tyrannical Government. “
My wife and I and about 5000 of our neighbours showed up in Calgary yesterday to join the worldwide freedom protest. About two hours in a local park followed by marching through the streets. Great turnout, great event.
Media coverage? Nothing in either paper or at least one of the TVnews outlets. Again (they ignored it last time, too).
What got covered? 20 people protesting the Ukraine situation.
This is typical.
bttt
That’s what I’m saying. Hand off the trailer. If there’s a few vaccinated drivers, they can move many trailers a day a quarter mile across the border or whatever.
Logistics
Have a third driver that only does the crossing part. Say, start the first dropped off truck Canada to Us, cross border, dropping truck getting second to go North TO Canada,, dropoff Canada side, next truck south to US , cross, drop off. Could be ten miles in either side. But the key is logistics of having a Crossings Only driver. He can show up at first spot in his pickup truck, work eight to ten hours, end up at start, and drive home. Only crossing border all day.
I was serious about pushing the trailer over the border to adhere to the rules. The 409 joke was to show how silly these rules are.
Seeing your dumping trailer - how about a turn table like they used to use on the dead ends at the railways?
Good idea about the third driver. Although I know of some folks that won’t be in the same room with an unvaxxed person, much less get into a vehicle just occupied by one.
I think a huge catapult or trebuchet would work better than a silly turnstile and be faster to boot. Just shoot the trailers across the border. Spray them with 409 first though. Gotta stay safe,
Borrowing from “The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, instead of Telephone Sanitizers , we need Truck Cabin Sanitizers.
Interesting side commentary in H2G2, many perished after the Golgafrincham B Ark departed, because of a particularly virulent viral infection spread by use of telephones. Science Comedy comes true.
“Why don’t they just hand off the trailers at the border? Then the drivers don’t have to cross.”
Why don’t they abandon this CRAZY vaxxine mandate?
How about THAT?
Yes, keep me on the Agenda 21 list. Thanks
That would be my preference
Obviously the collapse of America’s food supply, our nation’s supply chain is orchestrated and the DC communist deep state and their criminal politicians are making certain this entire country collapses. Once it’s too late to stop it and turn the country around, sadly, the USA will be gone forever! I wonder if God will send another Moses to rescue us slaves if we won’t try to save ourselves.
Now THAT is an obvious logistics solution.
