    Just put in an application with Con-Way Freight. Got a response back pretty quick that said they would contact my fleet manager and then move forward. Got my fingers crossed.

    Lesson of the day: Always confirm port of entry with Taylor before doing your trip planning. This has been a messed up load from the start: qc said go to winnipeg, mb; bol said thunderbay, on. After waiting at shipper 2 hours, told to head to Winnipeg. Default navigo routing was like 100miles longer than dispatch miles. Check dispatch routing (600+ miles of 2-lane highways) & see that it is within 10miles. Follow said routing to last US truck stop where ACI is waiting for me -- discover port of entry is listed as 200miles west of here. Doh!

    Hoping broker can make the change, but either way I bet I'm now on Taylor's naughty list...
