Between loads

Some get paid layover after a certain time limit.

 

Every company is different just ask them. We are $20 an hour after 2 hours

 

Do you mean sitting, waiting to get dispatched for your next load? That's called "layover" pay. If you mean waiting in a dock on a shipper, that's called detention pay.

Layover pay varies by company, but many will pay $120-$150 per day that they can't get you a load. It gives the company an extra incentive to get you rolling again.

@TROOPER to TRUCKER was describing detention pay.

 

If you're talking about a 34 restart then you won't get paid.If you're spending 2 days a week waiting on a load it's time to find a better company

 

Good point. I forgot about restarts while out on the road (probably because I never had to do them). I feel for you guys out weeks at a time.

 

Geez I looked at it wrong. We did get the same for detention though I never had that problem. I have to find a good used laptop. Using my phone is getting old.

 

Your travel agent is slacking. How many drivers does your travel agent find loads for and are they sitting around too?

 

Surely he means paid in general. Direct deposit Driver. Remember though if in the middle of a load at end of pay day you get it next week
