Truckers May Be Caught in the Middle of U.S.-Canada Lumber Dispute
Canadian and U.S. carriers hauling lumber into the U.S. from Canadian mills are caught in the middle of an international dispute that is hurting their business, according to Paul Landry of the British Columbia Trucking Association.At the heart of the dispute is whether Canadian provincial governments are subsidizing their lumber industry and under what circumstances the U.S. will continue to allow the flow of Canadian lumber across the border. 
The dispute may stop or slow the movement of Canadian lumber into the United States, harming carriers on both sides of the border that haul for the mills, Landry said.For the full story, see the April 23 print edition of Transport Topics. Subscribe today.
