Port of Montreal congestion hits you three days after it hits the port.

The automation sales pitch is always the same: robots eliminate labor cost and pay for themselves in 18 months. In Canada, that math holds up in maybe 40% of cases. The other 60%? They either overshoot the problem or undershoot the capex needed to actually move the needle.
Port of Montreal moves 2.7 million TEU annually, and the first thing most freight forwarders misunderstand is how free time and detention charges align with warehouse dock-to-stock windows. A release from the broker doesn't mean your container is ready to move; it means detention charges started accumulating if drayage isn't booked within hours. When dock-to-stock slips from 2 days to 5 days in Q4, it's almost never the port. It's the gap between when customs clears the container and when warehouse dock space actually opens up.
