<h2><i class="fas fa-print" style="margin-right: 10px;"></i> ACE Driver Lead Sheets</h2>


This panel provides real time visibility into the manifest’s status.
<p>BorderConnect supports all standard ACE driver copy formats, ensuring your drivers have the specific documentation required by CBP officers. Choosing the right format can significantly reduce processing times at the primary inspection booth.</p>


{| class="wikitable"
<div class="bc-cleanlist">
! Section !! What it shows !! Why it matters
<ul>
|-
  <li><strong>Standard Lead Sheet:</strong> The industry-standard barcode sheet containing the Trip Number and essential conveyance details. Perfect for high-volume carriers with standard loads.</li>
| Details || Trip number, port of arrival, ETA, current status || Confirms live manifest state
  <li><strong>Detailed Lead Sheet:</strong> Includes a comprehensive breakdown of all shipments associated with the trip. This is highly recommended for LTL (Less-than-Truckload) carriers who may need to verify individual PAPS numbers for the officer.</li>
|-
  <li><strong>QR Code Format:</strong> The most modern iteration, utilizing high-density QR codes for faster scanning. This format is increasingly preferred at major ports of entry as it is more resilient to printing smudges and easier for handheld scanners to read.</li>
| History || All submissions, changes, and CBP responses || Proof of compliance and timing
</ul>

<h3>Pro Tip: Digital Copies</h3>
While physical copies are required, many CBP officers now accept the <strong>QR Code</strong> format directly from a driver's tablet or smartphone screen, providing a reliable backup if a printer fails at the terminal.
