I'm surprised they pay anything for being out on weekends. I've never even heard of a company doing that.
Not sure why there's a complaint here...

Oh, sure, I agree completely. If that's part of the deal, then they change it, yeah, that sucks. But I've just never heard of a company paying people to stay out weekends at all before.

Our company policy is to get us home or pay also, I have only been out 1 weekend in the last 7 months, and that was because of a break down.

To clear this up and explain the original post...
Maverick pays you $150 for the weekend if you're not dispatched to a load.
If you are under a load for the weekend you don't get anything extra...just the miles on the load.
The husband the OP referred to got a raw deal...dispatched to a load with only 65 miles on it. That is certainly a bad deal...but it IS NOT common.
My weekend loads are generally in the area of 1,000 miles (empty miles included)...that equates to $400 gross pay for the weekend for me. Its gonna be hard to beat that deal...I get $400 and a 34 hour restart.Sinister Thanks this. -
What was hard to swallow when they did that was it used to pay 800 miles for the weekend. Take that times .41 and ouch.......

Dang I miss that...I could afford a nice motel and still put a chunk of $$$ in my pocket. -
This strictly my opinion...
But it seems to me that Maverick is gravitating away from the hometime thing...you can still make good money and get good miles here...but the miles suffer greatly if you wanna get home every weekend.
