About this tool
What it calculates
Displays commercial truck wait times by direction from CBSA and CBP agency feeds, with each value's source, source-observation time when provided, OTR retrieval time and freshness.
Who it's for
Carriers, dispatchers, and shippers routing cross-border freight who want to compare crossing delay in real time.
What you'll need
No inputs required. Filter by direction (northbound / southbound), region, or crossing name.
How to use the result
Use the agency-reported waits to compare crossings, then check the direction-specific freshness and source note. Factor in pre-clearance preparation and driver hours-of-service limits.
Key assumptions
OTR polls independently of agency publishing cadence. CBSA may provide a directional source timestamp; CBP does not expose a per-row observation timestamp in its current response. A current retrieval time is not a substitute for source observation time. Waits can change before arrival.
When to confirm with a specialist
Contact OTR Logistics Solutions for carrier selection and transport timing. Confirm customs documents, filings and admissibility with your appointed customs broker or the appropriate authority before dispatch. OTR is a freight broker, not a customs broker.
