Crossing delayed Monday at Manitoba-U.S. border as truckers protest vaccine mandate
People hoping to cross the border at Emerson are having to deal with a delay Monday morning.Truckers tell 680 CJOB that a slow-roll protest is delaying trucking and other traffic as some truck drivers protest the vaccine mandate for all truckers that came into effect on Saturday.
“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.

They don’t understand most truck drivers are conservative and they can shutdown this country tomorrow.
I went to BJ's today and I was shocked, yes, shocked at how empty so many of the shelves were.
There was no chicken, very little pork and beef. The egg part of the frridge was empty. Almost no frozen pizza. Dog food was scarce. Lots of empty space.

All I can say, is they are messing with the wrong people.
Heck, you see how mad truckers will get if you screw with them out on the road. People think it's funny and it even makes me ticked off.
I don't even know why anyone would even want to mess with these people.
Just like in that one video, if there weren't truckers, you won't have a house, the meat, beans, rice and potatoes and all the garbage we've got. Just think: To get to this forum and use it, a truck brought it! A truck brought the copper and aluminum to get the power hooked up, along with all the miles of fiber and copper for the telco.
To bring this around, remember about two years ago, the Trump was giving a speech and the truckers were pissed? Again, messing with the wrong people.
Leave truckers alone!
I'm infuriated only because I've been thinking of becoming one if I get tired of my job. I have high respect for truckers.

Good luck man. That sucks. You’ll find one fast and I’ll bet it pays more.

They sure value their independence that’s why they are long-haul truckers.
For every trucker that decides to hold up loads indefinitely or quits, another one will replace that driver.

Grocery stores out of stock? Expert says winter storms to blame
Empty shelves and out-of-stock items at local grocery stores are conjuring up memories of Spring 2020, but experts say the pandemic isn’t really to blame this time.
Sure, there are still supply chain backups and a shortage of labor that have persisted throughout the economic downturn brought about by the pandemic. But the primary culprit for the recent grocery shortage is mother nature.
The recent winter storms that blanketed parts of the country with snow and ice made roads impassable. Doug Baker, vice president of industry relations at the Food Industry Association, told FOX Weather the storm halted trucking on Interstate 95 through Virginia, which is a "major artery" for the grocery supply chain.
Grocery stores out of stock? Expert says winter storms to blame
An expert with the Food Industry Association says winter storms have played a role in recent grocery shortages, and this weekend’s looming storms stand to make matters worse.
Don't think so, certainly not fast enough to make any impact. Just about every business is crying for workers. Help wanted every where.
I get that, but a simple trucker stoppage/strike will not change the way things are going. It is a good spit in the eye, but the government does not care
I am all for this. I am hoping for the worst.

Yeah, a majority of the folks refuse to believe any of the truth. They just live in their little bubbles of what the sheep want to hear. That's media and social media for you. Instead of opening their eyes and looking around them, they are so dead set on what they want to see from social media or what's being told to them from their master.
There are only a few people that I know of that are on the somewhat same wavelength that we are all on. Not enough and that is the scary part. Those are the ones that are going to freak right out when SHTF and blame it on all of us. I can't say I didn't try warning them...

U.S. vaccine mandate on freight drivers coming from Canada may exacerbate auto supply chain shortage
About 12,000 unvaccinated drivers won't be allowed to enter the country starting later this month.A Covid-19 vaccination requirement that will bar unvaccinated drivers of freight trucks coming from Canada to deliver goods across the American border this month may exacerbate supply chain issues for auto parts, experts say.
An estimated 12,000 drivers could be prohibited from entering the United States under the mandate that may take effect Saturday, according to the Canadian Trucking Alliance.
The border restriction will make the automotive supply chain issue worse, said Doug Betts, president of the global automotive division at J.D. Power, a data and analytics company focused on the auto industry. He noted that auto parts come from all over the world and one obstruction in the chain can significantly slow or stop production.
“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,” Betts said. “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.”
Hitchcock, also the interim executive director of the Michigan Trucking Association, said he’s spoken with 15 other trucking companies who have about 400 drivers, 75 percent of whom are unvaccinated.
“How do you force a mandate on a bunch of truck drivers who have been out there on the front line for 20 months and never asked for anything?” he said. “They were the ones that kept our economy moving and supplies (going), so you never ran out of food,” he said.

NBC Reports the U.S. Trucker Vaccine Mandate Scheduled for January 22nd May Collapse Supply Chain for Food and Auto Parts - The Last Refuge
The NBC article highlights trade with Canada, but that's miniscule when compared to the trade we get from Mexico.

I want to warn everyone FedEx Ground has become a completely UNRELIABLE shipper. Do not ship FedEx Ground. They absolutely do not have enough drivers to complete shipment deliveries.
I ordered a $200 item from a Billings, Montana, sporting goods store on January 12th. They originally predicted delivery by Friday, January 14th. FedEx Ground got the package to Troutdale, Oregon, where it sat for several days. The package is now in Burlington, Washington. This location is 25 minutes from where I live. It has been there for a couple of days.
I was told there are multiple large tractor trailers full of packages in their yard there that cannot be delivered for an unknown amount of time. My package is on one of the trailers but is not even among the first two trailers to be unloaded.

This is just the start to our shortages . The article said how many different car parts come in from Canada and Mexico... What will you do when your auto needs a 100 Dollar part to pass inspection and there is none to be found.... The sticker gets pulled off and you are told they have no idea when the part will come in.. Your auto could be in their yard for the next few months... EVERYTHING could soon be ground to a halt. very soon. Brandon doing his best to shut this country down. .. Things could get real serious very fast... Am I wrong in this thinking ?
The gubberment is going to try and offset the losses of Drivers by loosening the requirements:
Governors call for loosening of federal regulations in the trucking industry

Truckers have sat for 50 years worth of collective idling at US ports in 2021, data shows
Truck drivers working at US ports have sat idling for a total of 50 years in 2021 so far, a recent study shows.
The “idle time” data was collected from the Port of Los Angeles, and the Port of New York and New Jersey by Lytx, a transport telematics company.
2021 isn’t even over yet and truckers at these two ports have collectively sat in a stopped truck with the engine running for an average of 24 hours a day total, which amounts to around 50 years worth of waiting when you consider each individual trucker’s wait time.

nope not at all on your thinking ..
but i would just drive it ..
when you get pulled over for no sticker .. be polite to the officer and take your ticket .. and keep your mouth shut ..
then take it up with the judge ..
yrs ago i had a car .. took for inspection .. safety stuffed passed .. emissions failed. .. computer wasn't fully reset .. just drive it and come back ..
so bought a obd2 scan tool .. been driving for 2 week still not reset and no sticker on the windshield .. got pulled over ..
told the local cop i have to drive it .. handed him the paper work from the inspection station .. drive it ..
no ticket .. but he wasn't happy .. he just said get it done asap .. lol ..
