Broker doesn’t want to pay/one of those days

Detention pay on a industry standard was 2 hrs, 3hrs, and sometimes 4 hrs. A broker told hs that their us no standard. Brokers tell the carrier what they feel is right or adequate regarding detention pay if at all.

I'm starting to wonder if satan himself is a Freight Broker in human form?

 

Why did you agree to sit there for all that time for free? Was there a gun pointed at your head preventing you from leaving?

You sound like a company driver. No self respecting business owner lets everyone from the customer, to their customer's customers dictate how their business is operated.

They're all making money off you instead of you making generating revenue off them.

 

Understood. Sometimes the best lessons are learned the hard way. Just look at it this way, if you're going to lose revenue; do you want to do it on your terms or someone else that is actually benefitting from it?

 

The core company is on our do not haul list.

 

How long have u been in this business? I don't ask that as being mean, just curious. Because this happens more than once. That's why alot of guys have short patience when it comes to working with bad brokers like this. Brokers like you mention here are a dime a dozen.
