Average Layover Pay

$50 for every 24hrs.

 

a standard 10 hour layover pays $29.00+ motel if I cant return to work after 10 hours for dispatch reasons,time sensitive customers,highway shut down due to weather I get $21.01 hour after 10 off..If I am forced to layover 34 hours I get 24 hours pay at $21.01 hour + motel+ meals reinbursed If I am broke down and sent to motel I get 10 hours pay then 8 hours off then 10 hours paid and so on +motel and meal reinbursement..

 

First off this how is how companies get bad names(and trust me I am not trying to protect CRE at all but fair is fair) CR England pays $26 an hour for up to 10 hours starting 3 hours after your delivery appointment...and then that is it..please whatever company anyone is gonna talk about can we at least try to get the correct facts.....if you heard it from someone else then no telling what they really know.

 

Western Express im 2007 it was $50

 

I am soooo glad those days are over. I haven't ask for, qualified for, or sat long enough to even know what layover pay is. I haven't laid over waiting on a load in probably... 13 years. That's about right... I think 1998 or 1999 was the last time I ever laid over for lay over pay. Ever since I gave up doing things for big carriers.

It is really sad that freight planners can't figure out how to plan a load for a truck that is going to be unloaded on such and such a day, and have a load already booked. One carrier I worked for back in the early 90's didn't even classify a truck as ready until it was unloaded. Then they worked on booking a load. What a crock. I am booked 1-2 loads in advance all the time.

 

Whats layover pay? Consider yourself lucky if you get any pay. Many pay NOTHING

 

$87 for a layover with my company happens maybe once a week depending on delivery schedules. And sometimes getting a backhaul but for the most part no. 18 hrs down time is what it takes to get it. It's cash from our expense reports we file.

 

$500 negotiated at the time of load and noted on the rate confirmation sheet.

 

on the Rare occasions it happens I charge $500 per day if it's across a weekend and they are closed I start at $700 per day and negotiate from there
