Kiosks to speed up border clearance

Buffalo (N.Y.) Business First: YRC Logistics has set up seven kiosks along the border between the United States and Canada — including two in Western New York — to help expedite clearance of cross-border shipments for its clients. Each kiosk has a camera and telephone, enabling communication with drivers as they present paperwork needed for customs clearance.
