Where do truck shipments come into Vancouver from ?
Is it all through the US/CA border ?
- cbhl 5y agoIsn't Vancouver a port city? I imagine there'd be more truck shipments out, eastwards towards the rest of Canada.
- arcticbull 5y agoThey should be able to continue, albeit delayed, via the US. Should be possible to head south into Washington State and re-enter Canada at Oroville-Osoyoos.
- rrix2 5y agosure, they just have to hope the north cascades highway is open when the snow-levels are already lowering from these storms. Usually that highway is closed during the winter season

- lhorie 5y agoI wouldn't worry about shipments into town. Suez was out for like a week and the world managed more or less just fine. LA port is backlogged to the wazoo but nobody is starving because of it. My understanding is that the Vancouver situation is only 1-2 days old so far, so there's probably not that much reason for alarm unless damage to every single artery turn out to be serious. Worst comes to worst, the US road is still open.
- soperj 5y agoThere's already massive waits at the port of Vancouver. Some stuff is taking a month just to be unloaded from ships waiting, and that was before this.
