    No I can't agree with your comment. If detention is made part of the contract and the carrier collects it they will pay the drivers. Most of the carriers want to pay detention and lay over pay but are forced to be careful in these area's because they generally don't get reimbursed. For the record speak to an owner and see what their profit margins are per truck after they pay the driver, pay for the fuel and pay for the permits, road taxes and other legals. Trust me, it is not all that much.

    I agree that if detention and delays become paid that drivers would see more.

    I was responding more to the general overhaul of the system
    If it was money that was just made a part of the cpm then it would be minuscule as they would claim that all the loads that weren't delayed paid for the ones that were.
