System Outage Delays Commercial Trucks at US-Canada Border
A computer problem caused delays for trucks trying to cross the US-Canada border.
The system, used by Canada's border agents, went down, especially affecting busy crossings.
While the border itself wasn't closed, trucks faced long waits.
The trucking industry complained about the outdated computer systems and frequent outages.
The government is working to fix the problems, which have been happening for a while.
It is important to note that it is only commercial trucks that are facing the delay.
A system outage at the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) caused delays.
The outage affected commercial truck traffic at the US-Canada border.
Delays were particularly noticeable in Southern Ontario.
CBSA reported partial resolution of the outage by 1:45 PM.
The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) criticized CBSA's IT systems.
