Detention Pay

Call the payroll number on your settlement with the load number and they will tell you what's up. I have no idea why we don't get paid right away for detention, TONU, etc.

 

Better just face it,this cust won't pay you if their already what a month late?

 

You know that song "never gonna get it never gonna get it" ? Thats the story of detension pay.

 

Once again you have NO IDEA what you are talking about. Stick to the company driver forum areas.

 

It is in our contract and just about every other carrier's contract that detention and TONU are paid when actually collected. You can call Contractor Services and see if it was billed and or collected, yet. It probably has not been paid, yet. Most customers drag their feet on detention and TONU payment. After being here over 15 years, I can honestly state that I have never not been not paid for a promised detention, but I have seen it take close to a year to get it. I recently recieved a $400 detention from last April, 10 months. I contacted Customer Service, for that one, something I seldom do.

 

That is pure Troll BS.

 

Eaton once took 5 months to pay for a couple thousand in detention. I called every 30 days for a status update from the payroll department.

 

Yep, about every 30 days to ding them with a reminder.
BTW, I never count on that money, until it is on my settlement.

 

Never have had any problem getting my detention pay with LS. Detention has not been a huge problem,Im actually doing more D/H than lives stuff so maybe Im just not seeing it.
