    Phil..I always got paid Detention time...after a 2 hour exemption....I can't for the life of me think why the Feds don't charge the customer or take it out of their pocket as per contract rate.

    I've spent many a day chasing down a broker, asking questions, Like what exactly is it you need to clear this load and what needs to be done....? Many a time I found a solution before dispatch even made the first call....Those brokers know each other and most of the accounts and who does...

    I don't know why Fedex just could not broker the load thru their own brokerage and the powers that be could could sort thru it after the fact and you'd be on your way. OR Bill Fedex thru your company...and if they don't pay..take them to small claims court... BTW...just how did you get stuck...

    Unless you use Alexander Bay crossing...Brokers close at 11pm.... You do have an option to request the load be put into "bond" and take it to a bonded warehouse until cleared...you could vacate the load or at least you'd be free of hanging around customs.
