    Just got a message over the Qualcomm telling drivers that "The market in the Pacific northwest is soft this weekend, and we don't have a lot of loads, if any, before Monday morning." and go ahead and shut down for a 34 hour reset this weekend. Well, at least I'm at a Pilot, so I get to have some showers, do laundry and take a nap. It sucks I'm not making money but, like they said in Godfather 2, "This is the business we've chosen."

    Dear Code Red,
    IF your a Company Driver... DEMAND LAYOVER, it's Not Your Failure that Your COMPANY CAN'T FIND/PLAN FREIGHT for you.

    IF your a Lease Operator... DEMAND LAYOVER, The Company your Leasing Your Truck from WON'T PAY YOU BECAUSE THEY FAILED TO PLAN/FIND FREIGHT for you.

    IF your a Owner Operator.... and you got yourself to a POOR FREIGHT AREA...
    YOU FAILED TO PLAN/FIND FREIGHT FOR YOURSELF and YOU GET NO LAYOVER PAY.

    Rent a Car and Go See THE SIGHTS!!!

    Enjoy!

    I'm sure he'll get layover. Question is if it'll be for one day or two. Had to be an uninterrupted 24 hour period to collect the measly $65. So if he sits for 44 hours and then has to go get a load.. No layover for day 2.

    Edit. Durr. That was meant for company drivers. For lease at sni your o/o advice applies. Choice guys book their own loads, it would be their fault for running themselves into a no freight area. But they also wouldn't get that message so I'd bet my bent .02 that he's company.

    I am a company driver, so I will try and ask about layover pay. I'm in Oregon right now, so they weather is pretty great, and I'll definitely get out and see the countryside.

    I actually took a nap this afternoon, there were hardly any trucks here and it was pretty quiet. It's nice to be able to rest, though I would have preferred to rest back at home, obviously.
