    Got my 10 hr break at Ryerson in Portland, OR. Never know how long it will take to get unloaded there. Sometimes wait all day, sometime go right in.

    I can't beet a few others on here for the longest but how about 2 days of 8 hours or more of detention in 4 days.

    I was detain on Monday for 16 hours, paid for 8 and detained again today at another shipper for 8 hours already I'll be paid for. $480 in detention within 4 days. I'd rather be moving down the road.

    longest I waited was 4 hours at Woodbury auto in the bronx. I know that seems nothing for a trucking company but for LTL thats quite a bit. Also at Krasdale foods in Bronx I hve waited 5 hours for them to sort the skids...

    What suck is that the max detention pay we get is 8 hrs, they should keep paying us as lon as we are still waiting. If I sit at a customer for 12 hrs I get pay 8 hrs= $240, you can run about 650 miles in the 11 hrs and make more than $240
