Truckers need to get in gear with e-manifests
4/15/07

Thursday is the day when electronic filing of customs manifests becomes mandatory in Texas, California and New Mexico. If a truck arrives at a cargo facility and an e-manifest has not been submitted in advance, Customs and Border Protection officers will give the trucker a lecture.

CBP officials call it a period of "informed compliance." This grace period is to last 60 days.
Officials said that the free workshops last week to help manufacturers and carriers through the transition attracted 250 to 300 people.
Growing pains: The expansion project at the Paso del Norte Bridge might be a boon for Oregon Street merchants Downtown. That's because Juárez shoppers will have to exit customs through Oregon Street, instead of El Paso Street, to avoid the work zone. Those headed to their favorite shops will no doubt make a sharp turn to El Paso Street. But those just passing through on their way to work might just stay on Oregon Street.

Since the manifest is filed by the shipper, not the driver, giving the driver a lecture seems to be a bit of a waste of time. Why not contact the person with the responsibility for the manifest, not the poor schmuck who happens to be handy to yell at?
