  • A Scary Encounter On The Crowsnest Highway

    By Dave Elniski, Industry Advisor, Safety & Compliance, AMTA


    When I was an over-the-road trucker, I frequently drove Highway 3 in British Columbia from the Alberta border to the Highway 95 intersection at Yahk. Due to a combination of shorter distance, minimal grades, and expedited access to the divided and truck-friendly Interstate 90 in Idaho, this is a popular route for trucks heading to the American West Coast from central to southern Alberta.

    Highway 3 is often colloquially called the Crowsnest Pass even though that particular mountain pass is just a small part of the highway at the BC/AB border. The highway is officially known as the Crowsnest Highway [1], and given how much attention truckers pay to the mountain passes along their routes, this colloquialism is easy to forgive.
