Always get my detention pay, even on those occasions I logged sleeper and did a split ... I've even cancelled out on loads after sitting for over 10 hours and it was clear the shipper was no closer to loading than they were 10 hours before and I still got my detention.

Maybe that is why Swift now requires you to approve your logs before you can be dispatched on the next load?
Let them go long enough and you can get very 'creative'. -
I just go off-duty, always get detention pay. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but it works...?

HousTank Thanks this.

We've been told before, in many messages, that we NEED to respond to those messages with a detailed response. Getting a name helps as well.
If it is an extended detention the last message I respond to will be something like - "no new info, see last responses", then I ignore the rest.HousTank Thanks this. -

It might be safer to be off-duty rather than sleeping...

As far as detailed message, mine usually is as simple as "still waiting to be loaded/unloaded".HousTank Thanks this.
