Truckers taking on water * Canada - As MA ferry delays persist
Take a number and wait
North Sydney, NS,CAN -Today's Trucking -26 Jan 2009: -- It's the Canadian way. And it's what truckers who use Marine Atlantic will be doing a lot more of... The Crown North Sydney-Port aux Basques ferry says it will soon implement a number system to clear the backlog of trucks that forms when the service is experiencing delays, as (if you ask most truckers) it often does... Local media reports that when the terminal lot is full and back-ups begin, arriving truckers will be given a number and told to park off-site. They will be contacted in sequence when it's their turn to proceed to the lot... Reportedly, Highway 162, Prince Mine Road has been approved for parking while truckers wait to board... (Picture: A trucker who's been parked on the Trans Canada for two days snapped this pic of available parking at Marine Atlantic. Drivers claim the ferry is telling them the lot is full.)
