Jason Wall of Arnold Brothers in Winnipeg tells 680 CJOB it's effected business right across North America. "The customer originating in British Columbia, looking for service to Alberta is still looking for that overnight service, same day or next day service We are used to providing," says Wall. "And, with additional kilometers drivers are not able to make that in one push, if you will" ...
