The Biden administration will not allow foreign truckers from Mexico or Canada to enter the country unless they provide proof of vaccination against the coronavirus.

Brian Hitchcock, owner of MBH Trucking LLC and interim executive director of the Michigan Trucking Association, expects to lose two-fifths of his revenue due to the United States and Canada’s vaccine mandates. Hitchcock’s drivers travel back and forth from Michigan to Ontario, but only one-sixth of his employees are vaccinated.

Biden’s vaccine mandate will likely hit the automobile manufacturing industry the hardest. Auto Care Association Bill Hanvey warned the vaccination requirement could further strain the supply chain.
In a statement to NBC News, Hanvey said:
Due to the current supply chain issues and chip shortages that the American automotive manufacturers are facing … we believe any additional strains placed on the supply chain have the potential to exacerbate this situation and could cause the demands on both the automotive manufacturers and the aftermarket to rise even further
Doug Betts, president of J.D. Power’s global automotive division, made a similar warning.
By the time you map out the supply chain, it’s just a spider web going everywhere. I would be surprised if there are any (U.S.) cars that don’t have at least one Canadian-based part. Canada is a pretty important part of auto manufacturing. Any part that doesn’t arrive or if there’s something wrong with it, you can’t build it. There’s more points of failure.
Charles Sox, a supply chain expert and University of Cincinnati professor, mirrored Betts’s point. “Automobiles are very complex machines, they have thousands of component parts. It only takes one missing part to stop you from being able to complete that vehicle and sell it,” Sox said.

Wait til the domestic stuff starts.
Buckle up….while you still can.
Not working people flooding the border and swamping our
government agencies for free services... eh okay.
Truckers who have a job and are fulfilling a function. eh no
way in hell!
Building back better... /s
All going to plan according to the Great Reset, masterminded by Klaus Schwab aka Dr. Evil.
Which country? Surely not the U.S. That would be “wasis”.
But for the illegals?
Nah... we don’t need no stinkin vaccine badges!
We come to vote demoncrats!
Just park trucks at the border and have illegals bring the stuff over. It works for the drug trade doesn’t it? Should work for the mexican border.
I wish they’d start making 1960s vehicles again.
All this puter crap...
Try to change a heater core on cars and pickups now. Or all the fancy parts in the dash that run the heater and AC.
I would like to see most of todays kids drive a car with three on the tree.
Typical damned Democrat(s) not looking, analyzing the overall repercussions of their actions. Democrats always thoroughly look for ways around the laws, regulations, etc. they don’t like, and usually end up creating reason out of stupid, but never seem to make law with careful assessment in the forehand.
Idiots!
Doesn’t DC require vaccine passports in the district? Truckers need to stop delivering inside the beltway.
Ja ja. Und zo it is.
Meanwhile, every single store in my city has fully stocked shelves. The only thing missing is Rice Crispies. Employee at Trader Joe said those factory workers are out on strike.
One store did not have any fresh pasture-raised beef. They told me slaughterhouse workers had come down with covid. Got lovely ranch grown beef at another store from a particular rancher group in Oregon. “Hidden Hills.” Delish stuff.
Exactly what they want. Economic shutdown... and when we are finally at our weakest, that’s when the missiles fall.
@ Veto!
I am seeing shelves empty of rice, pasta, chocolate, butter, eggs, yogurt, orange juice.
You want to order a computer from Dell or HP, there is a 3-4 week delay. 4-5 years ago, when I ordered a computer online, it gets shipped within 2 days.
The Dumocrats will do a false flag so they can suspend the midterm elections.
We now know their plans but what are we going to do?
Soon to be heard over loudspeakers in grocery stores across Canada:
“Empty shelves on aisle five. Empty shelves on aisle five. ...”
Shortages and partially empty shelves in my Pittsburgh suburb. It had started getting better months ago, now concerning again.
@ PghBaldy
It was early March 2020 when the rice, beans and toilet paper began disappearing. “Conspiracy theorists” knew a pandemic was coming and stocked up.
Conspiracy theorists say “they” want to get us used to constant shortages, demoralize us and make us accept the Great Reset.
I say I put my money on the “conspiracy theorists”.
My millennial daughter learned stick with a four on the floor, but she never to my knowledge has had to deal with a three on the tree. I OTOH grew up with them, and to this day I remember the feel of the 2->3 transition, smacking the lever down behind the wheel, dropping the clutch in, and feeling the acceleration of an inline-six with the pedal to the floor. I don't think I ever got to do that on a V8, as the only V8 I drove back then was a Pontiac Bonneville and it had an automatic.
Problem solved.
