So I was hauling a load with two stops. One delivery drop took over 3 hours which caused my late arrival to the second and last drop. Because I was late, they couldn’t fit me in for appt and now the broker rescheduled for Tuesday due to Labor Day. I am forced to stay here for 4 days (original delivery was supposed to be yesterday) and you can imagine how much money I will be loosing for staying still for 4 days straight waiting for delivery.
Now, I am trying to get layover approved by broker ASAP, we have been chatting back and forth over email for the past 6 hours. Last thing he told me was that he is waiting for layover approval. I asked for $350/day, which is less than what I would be making if I was driving. What are my rights here? Can I refuse to deliver the load until they send new rate confirmation with layover time? Anyone has any input?
4 days layover pay

Good luck man, I would've been asking for $500 a day which is 1/2 of what I gross a day. It all depends on how trustworthy broker is and if you've been dealing with him before.
rabbiporkchop and Trucker61016 Thank this. -
Did you get compensated in your case?86scotty Thanks this. -
This is why i’m glad i don’t mess with brokers.
I feel for you hand, i’ve been there in a company ride but was always lucky enough to pawn my mess off on someone else.rabbiporkchop Thanks this. -
Go over the brokers head. Tell him you need to speak with his boss.
Is this a dry van or reefer? -
They should contact a warehouse and you go there to unload. It happens pretty often.
My company does cross docks, short term storage, and redelivery fairly often and it’s always either what happened to you or someone trying to haul two loads.Farmerbob1 and Dino soar Thank this. -
