BORDER TROUBLES * Canada / USA - Atlantic truckers frustrated by Homeland Security secretary
Dieppe,NB,Canada -CBC News -April 22, 2009: -- The Atlantic Provinces Trucking Association is frustrated with its attempts to lobby the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to ease the crippling costs of border administration fees... Peter Nelson, executive director of the association, said it's costing too much for truckers in the region to cross the American border, and he spent two days in Washington pleading his case... Nelson said the U.S. government maintains that Canada should assume the administrative costs of managing the border instead of U.S. taxpayers... He said it cost the Canadian trucking industry about a $100 million a year back then, but that has now risen to about a billion dollars a year... Nelson said those increases will have a devastating effect on the industry and consumers... (Photo from cleveland.com: Canada's cross-border truck traffic)
