If anyone was participating in todays webinar on ACI and was wondering if there was any advantage to CSA, think again. Get CSA certified and make sure your drivers can be FAST approved and the border will be practically invisible when ACI comes into effect when coming back into Canada. In fact, this may be the industry's biggest opportunity to rid ourselves of scrub carriers that can start up in the next hour and eliminate the troublemakers (if they are not ACI-compliant, there are fines once it goes into effect, after the grace period for implementation.)
On a side note, I like how they said that a customs stamp, once ACI is into full effect, will just mean your driver reported to the primary inspection line and will not mean proof of release into Canada. It will be interesting to see how the CBSA's vision of paper-free commerce will go and who will remain after the fines and penalties start to accumulate.
