    Company's truck? Then breakdowns and detention are company's problem - not driver's. Drivers should be paid for these. Pretty basic.

    If you're a company driver and that's all you get paid, then sucks to be you.

    Breakdowns and detention are part of the risks you assume when you OWN a company. Basic.

    Company drivers are employees, not partners. They don't get a cut of the profits and they shouldn't suffer the losses. ... Good companies (and even some ####ty ones) understand this and pay detention and breakdown ... despite your disapproval.

    Well Jesus this escalated quickly. You wouldn't think a thread for newbies would turn into such a cluster.
