And the flip side of that dropped trailer at a yard is that another company driver will have to pick it up, drive 30 miles, and endure the 6-8 hour unload with little to show for it.
A little detention pay is never a match for the miles lost in that same time.

And often times, that load will be given to a driver just coming off home time because they need an empty, and a live unload will give them the mt.

The best option is to refuse any Amazon live unload until they can get their ducks in a row and do things in a timely fashion.

A smart lease operator takes that deal. $4 per mile short haul pay, $35 an hour detention pay, a $100 spiff and a follow on sweetheart load from the planner as an enticement to do them a favor.

My company does drop and hook Amazon loads with our own trailers, but I'm glad that I have been getting less of them. For all of their size and fancy tech they can be extremely disorganized. It's really frustrating trying to deal with a guard shack that's manner by a remote worker.

actually they really organized, just the loaders/unloaders are lazy, they prioritize their own trailers first and rather youse your trailer as storage until contents are needed to fill other trailers.

combination of all that is why most outside trailers get the shaft.
