Vaccine Mandate for Cross Border Trucking Now in Effect, Mandate for Domestic Trucking Begins in a Week, Prepare Your Affairs Accordingly

The cross border vaccine mandate for truckers in/out of Canada is now in effect.

The U.S. vaccine mandate takes effect on January 22nd. It will take a few days to see the consequences, but there will be consequences.

When questioned about this, Canadian Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic Leblanc says the trucking industry "Has had adequate time to prepare for this." Keep in mind, the mandate was announced 45 days ago.

According to the Canadian government, changing the structural rules for all the logistics and commerce in cross border shipping, 45 days is enough notice.

Mike Millian, president of the Private Motor Truck Council of Canada, told CTV News Channel on Saturday that there were as many 23,000 vacancies at the end of the third quarter of 2021, with his group's own studies showing that roughly 20 per cent of Canadian truck drivers operating across the border are unvaccinated.

Keep your fingers crossed, but prepare for FUBAR. We have a friend who drives for a trucking company.

I've worked booking trucks across the border for 5yrs and it is significantly affected everyone involved.
