Brakedown pay

Make sure you send your 01 as soon as you get there too.

 

Well, you are not going to find out ahead of time before you come to Prime either...

 

why cant someone find out if the company pays detention pay or not? hows it work?

 

Any time I have been broke down I received layover pay. Its $65 per day.

 

There is no one single answer when it comes to detention pay. Depends on the contract for the load whether dentention is included or not. If detention is to be paid it depends on criteria in contract. After that it depends on the rate at which it is paid.

 

Detention pay does exist, but I don't have a clear understanding exactly how. It appears to depend on the customer. Some pay detention, some don't. For anything extreme with the customers that don't, I have received layover pay. I've received as much as $350 for being delayed one day from a particular customer and the regular rate seems to be at $15 per hour calculated to the minute. The other unknown is exactly when the detention clock starts. That also varies. With some customers it starts at 1 minute, others it could be 2 hours.

 

do you guys at prime allways get confirmed loads or not? if it's not a confirmed load can you refuse?

 

Company drivers cannot turn down a load. If you cant legally do the load, you must notify your fleet manager. They will either take you off the load, or have you start the load and repower it, or get appointments adjusted.


BTW, I dont know what you are talking about when you say "confirmed load" A load is a load and expected to be rolled on unless they send you a message saying that they are taking you off the load.

 

Wasn't that much worried about it since I'm still n tnt but I don't feel bad b/c my trainer didn't know d amt either

 

Most people probably don't know it exists before they get here
