Local log truck drivers hurry to get their last loads in before noon Tuesday as warm weather forces early road restrictions. Logging operations and haulers are working nights and early mornings only while hoping for cooler weather to finish the season.

Warm weather hampers logging operations Flyers Sears, Save On, Staples, Mars Canada. Designated areas: Safeway, The Brick, Rona, Home Hardware, WalMart.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Unseasonably warm weather has impacted the local logging industry. On Friday, Feb. 13, road restrictions came into effect, which is weeks earlier than

previous years, according to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. “We’ve had a lot of freeze thaws this season and the frost didn’t settle very far into the ground,” a ministry spokesperson told the Tribune.

Troy Bremner of Troyco Enterprises said his trucks didn’t run at all last week, but with the temperatures dropping to below zero Sunday night they were able to get back to work. Driving on the frost out in the bush can save the roads, he said,

adding his drivers are on the night shift a week earlier than they were last year. “We are hoping for colder weather in March so we can get a few more weeks in,” he said. Updated road restrictions are posted on the ministry’s website.
