Advice needed ! Landstar .

If they are the ones that dropped the ball id be charging way more then $500 for me to sit there an extra 3 days.... The broker doesnt determine my rate for somebody elses f up... If they arent willing to budge... Then you have to make a decision, either take what money they give you for "layover" or decide not to put up with their #### and take the load back where it came from. then invoice the entire amount plus the return trip... You will most likely have to fight that in court to get paid...but let them know those are their options , either pay what i charge to layover or turn this into a huge cluster #### that is going to haunt you for along time and you are most likely going to lose your customer over it.

see what they say ...that is where id start with it and go from there...you have to make a decision of what you are willing to put up with and deal with in the long run... There is no wrong answers here, because everybodys bs meter taps out at different points..

This is just my opinion and the direction i would take it. .. I dont claim to know anything about anything..

Keep us updated with what you decide and how it goes

 

Do you have a load scheduled after this landstar one your on now?

 

Call the broker on the BOL's, tell them what you're going to do. If they thought it was going on a Landstar truck they may step up.

Note: Unless you just accept the 500, Landstar will put you on a DNU. Just laugh and tell them it's been done by better people than them.

@Dave_in_AZ.
Personally, I'd show up when the BOL says to, and charge detention (always moist and delicious), from then on.

 

I guess it's ignorant to ask at this point what was agreed upon before the load was taken, in regard to detention and layover.

So that horse has left the building.

Just ask for an updated freight bill with the layover, and new appointment time on it.

 

Some of this stuff is just training

Once you lose you will make sure it is spelled out the next time

 

I'd still be calling whoever the broker is on the BOL's. Had one like that a few months ago. Original broker paid for it. If you seldom use Landstar who cares what they think/say/do.
