I don't believe the OP was referring to an OTR type of role. Layovers are for us daycab guys that tread out farther than usual every now and again. Can't make it back to the barn so we have to grab a room for our break.
how much is your layover pay?

I don’t get layover pay, but do get detention pay. $30/hour after 2 hours.
I got paid very nicely one weekend to sit around and sight see, because someone messed up somewhere. I had a scheduled appointment on a holiday. The shipper was not open.
Just yesterday I was at a delivery and waited and waited finally I went in told them in 10 minutes detention kicks in. AMAZINGLY, it was unloaded in that time, jerks. -

My layover is "how much do you want?" and it depend on how I'm feeling. I believe I got $180 a day for one, but last time I asked for $125 and they countered with $150. I was happy with it because it was basically missing half a day of driving plus a hotel stay for my 34.

I guess I really can't talk about layover pay, because I never took loads that required that. At some of the companies I worked for, they had the "sleeper truck" for just such overnight loads. It was usually some POS Transtar cabover with a tired 318, and who knows where the mattress had been and on the rare overnights I did do, I kept my regular tractor and slept across the seats. Lot of other guys did too, we built a box to go in between the seats Motel? Not a chance, unless I paid for it. That was the old times, my friends.

I’ve got a CLC card. I still pay for the hotel, but I get a good discount if I choose to stay in one. If we’re away from home and want to drink it works out well.

Layover pay? You mean we get paid for how much our stomach lays over our belts?
longbedGTs and Oldironfan Thank this. -
most good companies will give an otr after 24 hours. but a good company won't have you sit
