    I guess what irks me more is when I'm going home and they pull this crap. Seems like this happens every time. Oh well. Guess the LC can explain to my FM why I won't be coming back out for an extra day. Bad enough on top if all this I have to go home for Jury Duty.

    Does detention start immediately or is it after so many hrs of sitting then it starts?

    That's not too bad.I worked for companies that detention don't start till like 8 hrs of sitting.One time I was to deliver to a target dc at 6:30 am sharp.Well the broker messed up and it was for 6:30 pm the next day.So I received $20.00 all that day I was to deliver up until the next evening which made for a very nice check.

    Seems to be a common problem. They book the load, then looka to see if there's a driver available in the area. Sometimes the driver they thought was going to get it breaks down or gets held up, then wala. You just got your next load.

    I think they need a program like fuel solutions.. we'll call it load solutions. When they don't follow it we will tell them they are non compliant and are costing us money...

    This company screams run away all over it. The last USA truck I ran into didn't even know how to adjust his weights. I went out and showed him and explained it to him.

    this company needs to just fall off the cliff.
