8th July 2020 – For the first time since the US/Canada border closed to non-essential travel in March the volume of truck crossings across the border exceeded 100’000 last week. Despite the ongoing severity of COVID-19 increase in the US, crossing numbers have been rising since April, with the economies recovering slowly and aided in part no doubt by the auto manufacture industries opening back up recently, its perhaps no surprise that year on year numbers for truck crossings are not far from parity.

Should the worlds longest border open up when the current closure agreement ends on July 21st the number of cross border vehicle crossings, essential and non-essential, will rocket.
