Impact of Canadian Rail Strikes on the Lumber Industry

As Labor Day approaches, it’s timely to reflect on the Canadian rail strikes and their impact on our industry. These disruptions have highlighted the essential role of labor in maintaining our supply chains.

The longer these strikes continue, the greater the potential for supply shortages and price increases, especially for products like OSB, SPF Dimension, MSR, and KDDF.

Stay informed and consider these factors in your purchasing decisions. Reach out to us for the latest market conditions.

Trio’s Unsurpassed Lumber Industry Knowledge

ACF Type: wysiwyg

The level of lumber knowledge, experience and ability that exists in our Sales Team is nothing short of incredible.
Over 150 years of lumber market experience is just a phone call away. 

Tony: 21 year lumber veteran and the definition in Webster’s dictionary under ‘lumber subject matter expert for commercial jobs’. Detailed, competent, with deep convictions and a commitment to learning, growing and inspiring others to do the same.

Jeff: Somehow Jeff puts up with these guys, sometimes funny and sometimes twisted humor. Daily he serves our customers with the utmost care, diligence, accuracy and assurance they are receiving the right product knowledge and information to help them be successful in their role.

Ryan: Ryan fills in every possible gap in the Sales Team with his current technical knowledge, spreadsheet wizardry, as a delivery and load guru and one of the strongest Sales Team partners in recent Trio history.

Phil: 26 year lumber veteran. The Michael Jordon of the lumber industry. I believe they have a mans work boot named after him. Laughs at his own jokes, makes fun of people, slings a lot of lumber in the industry and leads the Trio Sales Team to un-paralleled company history results.

Tina South and Jerry Lilly: The ‘originals’ are not pictured here but continue to sell lumber on a daily basis, adding 90 plus years to our lumber experience at Trio.
