    You're going to have to talk to your company and DEMAND to be paid.

    I can see sitting for a bit but not this long without some kind of follow through from your company.

    Once it gets settled..then look at your opitions..if they pay you and youre happy,fine.
    If not put your notice in and move on.

    Good luck to you.

    raise hell if you don't get some kind of compensation.This is one of many things I don't miss about OTR.Ive had a few of those blind loads.

    Sitting 5 days longer than I would have. I would have been in contact immediately and on the way there.

    Because we all know #### well that if the companys equipment is tied up for a week, And they are in no hurry to solve this issue, Then THE COMPANY is making something off of it

    that's 4 days 23 hours longer than I could have done! I start to lose after 1/2 hour. But its been a long time since Ive hit a dock.

    You got that right! It's all I can do to get through a 34! If I don't have laundry to do and a little shopping nearby, it becomes the longest stretch I can imagine.
