Re:	Cross-Andes pass restricted hours through July 13

Cross-Andes pass - Restricted hours through July 13

Be advised that both Argentinean and Chilean authorities have agreed to restrict truck traffic on the international tunnel between Argentina (Mendoza) and Chile to allow Chileans to travel to Mendoza to support their team in the America Cup.

Schedule restrictions for the next two weeks:

• ½ day - July 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
• Entire day - July 7, 13

This will delay orders from Argentina even further on top of the usual winter weather conditions. Truckers are strongly opposed to the restricted hours and we'll advise should the situation change. To discuss shipping alternatives from Argentina contact your sales representative or for pending order status contact your operations representative at 732-388-0101 or login to AXIS for further detail.
