The strike by members of the Container Trucking Association of Ontario (CTAO) ended on September 22nd, but the fallout is going to be felt for a long time in the form of increased fees and rates. Within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), the most significant increase is a 35% spike in container cartage rates. Other direct negative results of the strike include:
- Out of town FCL deliveries increased above the average 35% increase seen on local FCL GTA deliveries
- Waiting time reduced to one hour, and waiting time rates per hour increased
- Destuff and drayage charges increased (cost to destuff containers)
- Prepull charges increased
