    I agree.

    There is no way in Hell a company, any company, would sit on that load for a week for free. They’re charging $750-$1000/ day for the truck. $200/day for the driver is fair. Especially if the driver was ON TIME for the original appointment.

    If you were late, shame on you driver, here’s $120 a day/next time make sure your arse is 15 minutes early.

    So, can OP negotiate a deal? Or is it time to abandon ship?

    No sir I was told to find safe parking , and head over to the airport to catch a ride back home , I guess it was there way of saving money and not paying me for sitting there

    Good deal.
    Exactly how I would have liked to be treated.

    Enjoy a couple beers on your flight and transform into vacation mode :)
