Please clarify a definition....

Depends on the company. What does the contract / employee handbook say? If you don't have either then it's up to whatever payroll has agreed to.

Detention is paid when you are detained by the shipper or receiver . If your company gets paid for it by them . Break down pay covers repairs nobody pays you to wait on dispatch for a load that I know of .

 

Detention pay is when you are delayed by a shipper or receiver ... what you're describing sounds like layover pay and is subject to your company's policy

 

You can't be owed money that wasn't agreed upon. Plus if you couldn't collect pay for time you rendered for "extra" duties while being employed, what makes you think some formal complaint from you once an ex-employee is going to do you any better.

 

So quitting before you start geeez

 

I was just being sarcastic on that one sentence just read it by itself. I would have been run off from there.

 

Magnum pays layover for lack of freight/dispatch delays. Only company in my 21 years that does.
