The
Speedy Transport Toronto terminal was without power for several hours late last
night and into early this morning due to a local power outage. The
utilities company, Hydro One, would not confirm the cause but reported that it was
isolated to the area around the terminal.
Power has recently been
restored and operations have resumed. Delays
should be expected in the service area as well as with traffic moving to, or
from, the Toronto terminal. We appreciate your
patience, and apologize for any inconvenience(s) experienced related to these
delays.
Late last evening U.S. Customs had a systems outage
that delayed traffic moving southbound into the U.S., from Canada. The
outage created delays that lasted until early this morning. No
explanation was provided for the delays but it has created a backlog with
border traffic moving between the United States and Canada.
This will negatively impact service on international
shipments being delivered from the Windsor, London, Toronto, Brockville and
Montreal terminals.
We appreciate your patience, and apologize for any
inconvenience(s) experienced related to these delays.
Heavy
rainfall throughout the GTA this week has caused flooding, road closures and
very slow moving traffic. Although conditions are improving, heavy rain continued
last evening and more is expected today.
Road
closures, flooding and higher than normal volume from the provincial holiday have
created a backlog throughout the Speedy Transport system that we are diligently
working through. Additional resources are scheduled between now and the
weekend to ensure normal service levels are returned ASAP.
