It used to be fairly common.
I had a job in the early 80s that paid us $75. in addition to our mileage just for being out over the weekend.

Years back I worked for an outfit, if you were out more than 60 days you got 1000.00
Their way of saying sorry you got stuck out with no off time.
Funny thing was you could work the system and go by your home with a ld. and delay ld 1 or 2 days. Nobody said crap about it.
So make an extra 1k and still have home time if you knew how to work the system -
How come drop pay has stayed so stagnant with most companies?
I had a job in the early 80s that paid $15 for the first extra drop, $25 for the next one, and then $40 for the rest.
And now, all these years later I'm getting $10 a drop. -

You may be right about the hometime though...but I do honestly believe the pay will be back. -
