Brakedown pay

How many days is your truck going to be down?

 

Breakdown pay is $75 a day n starts after 24 hours

 

if your company does not specifically say that there is a specific amount that you get for breakdowns, or lay overs, you probably will get nothing.

 

It's 75. I asked my tnt trainer, he should know... from experience

 

no detention pay though is that correct? thats the killer,especially for reefer

 

Detention pays after you've been waiting for so long. Not sure what the rate is, but think it starts 2 hours past drop read time. I'll ask my trainer... he doesn't know the rate. Timing depends on the customer, some are one hour, some are 4 hours. I do know, if you don't use the stamp, good luck getting it.

 

Egr. is exhaust gas recycle . takes exhaust gases from manifold and puts them back into the intake. basically burning un burnt fuel.

 

stamping every page of the bills is the big thing we sat at general mills last week for ten hrs(it wasn't an open window appt either) waiting on our load asked Fm about detention and he said we would get it as long as we stamp every page on the bills...didn't asked how much it was though or when it started

 

you need to find these things out before you start with a company brother
