What is absent, and why: container counts. The BTS publishes loaded and empty containers for the Canadian border but not for the Mexican one, so no container chart is drawn. Wait times are published live by USA Customs and Border Protection and are not kept here. Trucks leaving the USA southbound are not counted by this source.
