Did you ever pay someone at receiving to deliver a load earlier ?

    Call dispatch. Dump in a drop lot and move on with life.

    If you are a l/o call the broker. Either negotiate a good rate for you to sit on it, or take it back refused.

    IMHO...$950.00 a day for 3 days or it goes back. I would give the broker until 830am and then I would already be rolling back. Mercy is for God to dole out.

    Get layover pay, I know Wally world charges now for early delivery. I've had my company pay $120 to get loaded a day early one time at a shipper. Beat sitting a full day and got ahead of the load since I had to drive 2900 miles

    It's not worth to me to get $950.00 for 3 days or to take the load back. I have to find a way to delivery the load today.
