From the story: The cost of transporting fruit from California and Arizona to Canada
climbed 25% last week, George Pitsikoulis, the CEO of Canadawide
Fruits, told Bloomberg on Monday. The executive, in Montreal,
mentioned a lack of truck drivers who were able to cross the border between the
US and Canada because of a vaccine mandate that cut US trucking capacity in
half, data from the American Trucking Association indicated. The
group estimated that about 50% to 60% of US truck drivers were fully
vaccinated. Stephen Laskowski, the president of the Canadian Trucking Alliance,
told The Wall Street Journal that a survey of Canadian truckers
suggested that over 10% of truckers in the country weren’t vaccinated.
