A Mexico border crossing in Texas for commercial truck traffic will reopen after six years starting Aug. 7 to provide an alternative to the Juarez-El Paso land ports of entry.

The increasing interest in nearshoring poses unique security considerations, including a higher likelihood of cargo thefts.

With U.S.-Canada border traffic volumes lower than before the pandemic at three entry ports in North Dakota and one in Idaho, federal officials have temporarily extended operating hours.

North American transborder truck freight in January jumped nearly 13% year-over-year, according to Bureau of Transportation Statistics figures released March 22.

WASHINGTON — Nearly three years after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, global supply chains and international ocean carriers have seen cargo volumes return to pre-pandemic levels.

Arizona’s governor has allocated $8.9 million to help modernize the port of entry in Douglas, where a new commercial one is being built to bolster the state’s trade with Mexico.

The discomfort of drivers having to wait long hours to enter Texas from Mexico should be considered amid the focus on freight delays resulting from Gov. Greg Abbott’s recent directive to enhance border safety inspections, says the head of the Texas Trucking Association.

The head of one of Canada’s largest supermarket chains says the vaccine mandate for truckers crossing the U.S.-Canada border is raising the cost of shipping fresh food. But so far, it has had little impact on the retailer’s ability to stock shelves.

Starting Jan. 22, travelers entering the United States at land ports of entry — notably along the Canadian and Mexican borders — and ferry points who are not U.S. citizens must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, the Department of Homeland Security announced.

As of Jan. 15 new, tougher COVID-19 vaccine requirements took place for people to cross from the U.S. into Canada. That applies to truck drivers and other essential workers.
