PRINCE GEORGE– With flooding this week shutting down crucial highways, not surprisingly it’s having a ripple effect on truckers delivering to various businesses here in Prince George

As a result, it’s causing problems for trucking companies forced to find alternate routes in order to deliver supplies to businesses across the province

Many grocery stores are already running low on products because of the closures of the highways and uncertainty on when new products will arrive.

Arlene Gagne Director of the BC Truckers Association believes it may take a couple of extra days for deliveries however it’s something that people should be used to now with 2 years of experience in a pandemic. She also says that safety is the number one priority they’re focusing on and asks people to be patient given the circumstances.
