Confederation Bridge toll increase a surprise, says trucking group

An increase in the 2022 Confederation Bridge toll came as a surprise to the Atlantic Provinces Trucking Association (APTA).

On Monday, Strait Crossing Bridge Ltd. announced rate increases for the upcoming year.

But after no increase last year, due to low inflation rates, APTA executive director Jean-Marc Picard said the group was hoping for a break again this year.

"Everything is going up lately for the trucking industry, fuel, insurance, equipment," said Picard.

The trucking industry looking for sympathy has never worked.

Now what Picard should have said to make the public care is..
What the fuck do we care? We just pass on all those added costs to the customer and they pass those added costs on to the consumer.
Stock up on toilet paper, assholes!
