What happens if you take a load back to shipper.

why not just work with the receiver on unloading

 

Taking it back to the shipper does not automatically mean that they will accept it back. It does not work like that. The product is sold and shipped. It went out the door. The only thing the shipper wants now is to collect money for it.
Don't take it back without prior arrangements made or else you might be frustrated at the shipper too.

If you can't get to terms with the receiver or broker, call the shipper and ask for advice, if it is all right to take it back.
I had a load that was rejected due to no order for it. The broker was not reachable. I called the warehouse from which it shipped and then from there I was told to call their headquarters.
I spoke with a woman who had the account and after 1 hour or so the lady emailed me an authorization to return it to the shipper. On my way there, the broker called and agreed to pay the same rate for which I took the load originally.

That's what you need ...a return authorization. Either from the broker or the shipper.
However, this will only guarantee that they will take it back. The rate for which you will haul it back is another matter.

 

When you say that it won't be unloaded at the stated time what do you mean?

Are you saying that you had an appointment time say at 3 and it's 5 or 6 and they have not started on you?

What kind of freight are you hauling?

Pretty much all of the Brokers that I work for have detention fees but you have to call in and touch base with them when you arrive and touch base with them before detention starts.

And for that type of thing you need to really pay attention to the rate con. For example I have one broker that I work with that they want you to give them a warning call one hour before you begin detention. They clearly tell you they will not pay unless you give them that call one hour prior to detention.

Can you give more specifics to your situation?

 

Threats usually have little, if any effect on getting out any earlier. They've heard them all. Best advice, grin and bear it, and never go back.
