(Photo from Discover Moose Jaw.com - Semi going through flood water on Highway #2 south of Moose Jaw)Saskaton,Saskatchewan,CAN -CJME, by Kelly Malone -May 27, 2013: -- A long winter and flood filled spring has cost the province's trucking industry time and money... Al Rosseker, the executive director of the Saskatchewan Trucking Association said, that this year's flooding has caused the trucking industry a lot of problems... Detours are taking more time because a lot of drivers have switched to driving a turnpike double, which is two 53-foot trailers connected and pulled by one tractor. In regular conditions, the turnpike double is more cost and energy efficient...
Waiting for the road conditions to allow them through will have other consequences as well... The flooding delays have reduced productivity... Yet trucking is an essential service in the province, bringing anything from water, bank notes, truck parts, fuel, or even medicine to the people of Saskatchewan... The busy season for trucking has already started and Rosseker said they see a light at the end of the tunnel...Labels: weather troubles
