    For a US carrier, that has a drop in Warren, MI and final drop is in Schenectady, NY.

    We do not "run Canada". We are however apportioned for Canada. What are the ramifications/issues of traversing Ontario with no freight on or off in Canada, to save miles? Driver only has a US passport and TWIC card.

    I'm on such a load in SLC. I'm waiting on verification from carrier but their system originally routed me across Ontario and the shorter miles Vs. S to Ohio

    Not a problem. And if you were loaded, just a matter of placing a bond on the load while traversing Canada.

    I'm pretty sure whoever entered this load will see this was an oversight, and will rework the miles down and across Ohio and back up. I just wanted to make sure I got paid the extra miles or was explicitly told to cross Ontario, one or the other.
