Detention vs overnight

Hello i need advice.
I sign a rate con that said that the broker would not pay for detention. And i was aware however when i got there the product was not yet ready and the shipper told me i would have to wait till tomorrow. So i call the broker and explain it to him. Also ask for overnight pay but he said they dont pay for that either but looking at the rate con it only talks about detention there is nothing about overnight pay. I DH 200 miles and basically lost the day. Can i fight or is detention the same as overnight? And if i could fight it. Is there someone that can help me with the process. I know i would get very little money but im would do it so brokers like this dont get away with things like this. They are called TRACER LOGISTICS LLC. out of goodlettsville TN

 

Do you know of someone that can help me maybe a small claims court or something? When i spoke to him he said they dont pay and he stood very firm on his decision. However he did brake the contract since this was overnight pay not detention. I told him at the end that i would just look for another load and he said that was fine with him

 

I think your right lesson learned.

 

Thats what i leverage with him told him if he wanted me to wait for the load till tomorrow i would need overnight pay. He call me back 5 minutes later and very firmly said we will not pay any extra on this load. So i guess i will just let this go. They are just a bad broker to do business with.
