American truck drivers who transport goods into Canada are frustrated by looming vaccine requirements, and some remain concerned the mandates could hinder the supply chain crisis.

Starting Jan. 15, 2022, Canada will require all "essential service providers, including truck drivers," to be fully vaccinated upon entry into the country. Similarly, all truck drivers will also be required to be fully vaccinated to enter the U.S. one week later on Jan. 22.

Republicans on the Hill remain concerned that President Biden’s vaccine mandates could have negative impacts on the trucking industry and the supply chain crisis.

Not so fast. Lots of warehouses turning away unvaxxed drivers. Need to go in the building to sign for loads? Sorry. Vaxxed only. Use the rest room? Sorry. Vaxxed only. A friend in the industry says 250 000 drivers will come off the road Jan 15. Company truckers and independents both. He suggests you buy a month worth of food. Back half of Jan will see bare shelves and no gas at the pumps.
