    LPA is one of a few agents I would pull produce for when I pulled vans......she has been pretty upfront with me...

    I just wonder what is the going rates for detention time? After how many hours of waiting what does one get paid?

    Screw them! I'm getting old. Two hours and we should be empty. More than that, it's detention. If I'm on-site, I will call and demand detention. We used to have to be on site, for cranes. If we were late, we were docked. We've been late 2x in 5 years. Once was a blizzard. The other time was mechanical and we were late by an hour.

    Why do we have to wait for 6 hours for a load? My husband won't say anything. I sure will!
