Winter weather conditions may cause delays in freight transport
Environment Canada has issued a “Winter Weather Advisory” for several regions of Ontario and Quebec, warning of possible heavy snowfall causing “significantly reduced visibility”.
Truck drivers must exercise extreme caution and apply all safety measures recommended for winter driving. Among them, adjusting the speed to the road conditions.
Therefore, it is likely that there will be delays in the transport and delivery of goods on routes affected by winter conditions.

New Inspections and protests cause up to 30 hours of delay in the crossing of goods at the borders of Texas.
- By order of the Governor of TX, Greg Abbot, inspections of commercial trucks were increased, in response to drug trafficking and human trafficking.
- New inspections have caused delays of up to 30 hours.
- Dozens of truck drivers in Mexico blockade protesting inspections.
In a news release, Customs and Border Protection said delays were being felt at major commercial crossings into Texas as a result of “additional and unnecessary inspections” by state police, causing a drop in business traffic of up to 60 percent.
