A few CTA members recently brought to our attention issues associated with the many days that I-80 (specifically EB and WB IE: Colfax/Reno) was closed due to inclement weather conditions. The closures affected their ability to transport goods to their customers in a timely manner. In some cases customers were assessing "delay" charges to the trucking companies. 

CTA worked with Caltrans on providing information on days I-80 was closed or trucks were being held. Feel free to utilize this information in conversations with your customers.

Click here to view a letter from Caltrans that acknowledges that there were a significant number of days that the corridor was closed due to the winter storm and click here for a spreadsheet that shows all of the days during the month of January that the corridor was closed to trucks. 

As stated in the letter, CTA is working with Caltrans on obtaining similar information for the month of February. As soon as the information is received CTA will send it out to its affected members. For more information contact Eric Sauer at esauer@caltrux.org.
