Costco Shortages

Shortage of grocery store workers, truckers - HOTPE    


The American Trucking Association says they are short 80,000 drivers and could loose up to 37% of the drivers we have starting Monday as the new OSHA regulations will require larger trucking companies to begin,  tracking vaccination statuses, establish records on statuses to send to OSHA, give paid time off to employees to get vaccinated and recover from symptoms, and enforce mask wearing." 

additionally with regards to Costco and other retailer's goods coming from Canada:

This weekend, Canada will start requiring long-haul truckers crossing the border from the U.S. to show proof they’ve been vaccinated against COVID-19. Stephen Laskowski, president and chief executive of the Canadian Trucking Alliance, said once the vaccine mandate for truck drivers takes effect on Saturday, as many as 16,000 unvaccinated drivers could be sidelined.

That's fine.  I can do without maple syrup for quite some time.
