Advice on off load delays!

Is it 33 dollars a day?

 

If it was in the confirmation or contract that you were to deliver at this time and place and they didn't want to honor their end of the contract then you can do that.

 

Like I said, contact OOIDA. They can tell you the law and even offered to negotiate for me.
Chances are I will not be hauling for that broker again but they are a dime a dozen anyway.
The biggest stipulation that I see is was delivery time and date written on the confirmation sheet and did you arrive on time.
Also OP hasn't been back here since her second post and probably not get any of this info. Maybe it will help someone else.

 

They did their part. Check the bold print. They held up their end of the agreement. Consigned refused. For me to sit on that load would require a completely different agreement and money. No storage fees? No storage. Like Oscar said, $500/ day storage, my cut, EFS code cleared before I would sit on that load for the weekend. If you don't like it, I will take the load to a cold storage facility and drop it. That's what cold storage facilities are for.

The thing you can't do in this business is allow others to use your services freely. Your time is important.

 

That's it right there. You take your truck to a mechanic to have some work done, do you really think they are going to work on it at a severely discounted rate? Hell no! Then why would a truck driver babysit a load over the weekend for $100?

 

I would get $100/day as a company driver.

I think the guys are just trying to make sure you've got your I's dotted and your T's crossed. You have to be 100% in the right legally before you can do something like put someone else's freight in storage and make them pay. It sounds to me like you did. The only other thing you could have done (and maybe did do) was call to confirm the delivery appointment. If I got confirmation from the receiver and then when I got there they refused delivery, I'd drop that load at a storage facility and let them pay for it and deal with it. They'll probably cry about it, but I'd rather have them crying about storage fees than me crying about not making any money. We aren't out here busting our hinders for nothin'.

Have a great weekend, Lisa!
