When Kiracimran Deol joined the cargo transportation industry, he never thought that he would fade his decision in two years.
“I think about changing my work. This is the thought that we all have now, ”he said.
For almost 24 hours, Deol and his colleague were stuck at a gas station along the I-90 in the city of Ripley, New York.
Holders carrying goods to Canada were supposed to cross the Mirsky bridge to Fort Eri at 1:00 on Thursday.
But the disconnection of IT experienced by the Agency of the Border Services of Canada four days before he left him, and tens of thousands of other truckers from all over Canada, who found themselves in the United States.
“Sometimes it’s hard here. This is a game of guesses when it will be cleansed … We heard some of our friends stuck for almost two days. ” He told Global News.
Kiratsimran Deol is one of the dozens of Canadian truckers parked at a gas station on I-90, waiting for the border cleaning.

Deol said that they heard about the failure from their colleagues, who were stuck in line on the bridge of the world.
The couple decided to go to the I-90 refueling and wait, having access to nearby amenities.
Soon, dozens of other trucks associated with Canada began to do the same, after they studied the truckers at the border, and they did not have access to the toilets.

The Canadian alliance of cargo transportation says that approximately 70,000 trucks cross the Canada-Ssha border daily.
The Alliance said that Global News delays are testing truckers from all over the country, leaving the industry indignant.

According to CTA, those who are trying to get into the western border of Canada are faced with four or five hours of delays, but the worst delays are observed on the Ontario border, including crossings in the Niagara waterfall, Fort Eri and Windsor.
“We see how the trucks are stuck for more than 24 hours,” said Global News Stoom News, Steven Laskovski, the president and chief executive director of the Canadian Alliance for Cargo Transportation.
“In some cases, truck drivers feed on bridge authorities because they sat for so long and waited on the US side.”
Port Vlasti on the World of the World in Fort Eri and the intersection of Lewiston-Cuinston in the Niagara waterfall Consulted commercial truckers Thursday to avoid both areas, since their lines are on or outside the throughput.
Road chambers on the Canadian inspection stripes on the world bridge showed that trucks crawl in turn on Thursday evening.

Laskovski said that he was not surprised by the shutdown, as it was a repeating problem, despite the federal promise to invest in the border.
“This is mysterious. Incredibly mysterious, anxious, disappointing, not understanding why these investments did not move into the IT systems, ”he said.
In the statement for Global News CBSA, she said that the failure occurred on Sunday morning after regular maintenance, and it was decided to on Tuesday.
“The problem of entering data during maintenance caused a disconnection and is investigated,” the representative said Guillaume Bereba.
“Commercial drivers can continue to experience delays, as we resume normal processing and continue to clean the lag from the requests received during the disconnection,” the statement continues.
But Laskovski says that the Alliance did not hear anything from the federal agency about why the delays continued until Thursday evening.
“Local ports are working with the industry throughout this crisis, providing us with the best information,” said Laskovski.
“Unfortunately, with regard to Ottawa, we have not yet received a clear message about what is happening, and when it will be decided, and, frankly, it is equally important – how this problem will never happen again.”
The alliance warns that the price of this hiccup will be paid – not only by truckers – but also with a chain of deliveries as a whole, which depends on these goods in order to turn it into Canadian soil.
Until then, those who are stuck south of the border, like Deol, play a game of expectations when they can finally return home.
“Sometimes this is disappointing,” Deol said.
