    hmm, $75 per hour detention pay = $1,800 per day or a little over $12,000 a week. I think I found the company of my dreams to drive for..lol

    To hang out in Memphis for a week?

    Lol, there isn’t any amount of money that would convince me to wait it out.

    Sounds like you’re working for a power only company which you wouldn’t be missing anything if you left.

    Before you go quitting, have the conversation with the company.Take it from there before you get all stressed. They may cover you, and it may be the easiest week…

    does this happen often??

    if not, then no big deal, trucking has slow weeks and busy weeks.

    maybe take your 34 on the way some place nice?

    Make sure you get paid layover for your time. If you don't press the issue this time they'll know they can do it to you anytime. Don't let them short you with bs about the weekend or the holiday either. Do find yourself a nice place to spend the next few days because that's a hell of a layover.

    Quit under load, and abandoned equipment? That's going to be hard to overcome to get on with another carrier.
