    Does a driver get paid on detour miles?

    NO.

    At some companies, they get upset about out of route even.

    Wow that's crazy so how do they calculate the miles if the bridge is out?

    Remember when I 40 was closed due to the slide?

    Got the same pay as before, ate the different miles.

    It's no different when I-70 gets closed down by CDOT.....The load doesn't pay any more if you have to use US 50 to go around to I-25......Per the freight agreement if signed prior to a road closure that is.....

    My only problem with the I 40 closure is that it was long term and the freight was and should have been updated.

    Your gas mileage is screwed with extra miles if you pay for own fuel correct.
