2 week detention

Hi guys, I’m in a very bad situation that i put my self in. I booked a load from Lipsey Logistics world wide, i talked with the broker and we covered all the typical nonsense. The load was from Columbus, OH going to St. Louis, MO. The load was picked up on the 27th and was delivered the same night at 10:00pm. The receiver told the driver to drop the trailer at one of their docks he did so but he couldn’t park in their lot so he went to a nearby truck store. in the morning when he went back to get an update they told him that “they keep trailers for upto 2 weeks”. They also said he wouldn’t be able to go inside because they already cut the seal and it’s now their responsibility. They also said that the broker should’ve told you that we keep trailers. I checked the rate con and it says drop and hook. I failed to read that when i booked the load. I called the broker and he’s very bad and doesn’t want to resolve anything. He said to that he wouldn’t pay detention, because the trailer has to be there for 24-48 hours. I tried to explain that we are a small o/o business and we can’t afford to drop the only trailer we have for two weeks. His reply was I don’t care if this is happening to you and truckers tell me that they can’t pick up loads all the time so deal with it. I told him don’t generalize talk to me about what’s specific to my case and company and he said you guys generalize too. As i right this it’s 08/01/2020 and I’m still at the same place, lost time and many and i know I’m to blame because i fell for the sneaky way that this ####ty broker does business by not reading the #### rate con. With that being said what other options do i have? TIA

 

I don’t know man your guess is as good as mine.
