For whatever reason spiders are not tolerated by those food warehouses but all those little creatures want to do is to catch a fly in their net...
Depending on where you tried to Del. taking them back may pay more or the same rate, but you must get a new load pay sheet with all your sitting time and extra mi. if you del. close to the place that could not unload you need to treat it as a new load and bill them?
Actually I don’t have the ability or the desire to do any of these things but it usually get the fires goin? Truth is you are already in care and custody of the freight so what’s the difference if I bring it back to my yard? I can take pretty good care of it for the proposed $500 a day storage fee? I could even swing by and visit it every day?
Convoy will give you $250 for layover and tell them you want no less than the rate you were paid getting there to return the load. They shouldn't give you a problem. I had a 2 day layover with them near St Louis early last year and I got the layover and the return load paid twice what the original load paid. It was a good week. I hadn't booked a backhaul yet.
This only works depending on what you signed in the carrier/broker setup packet.... Very few of these brokers leave that #### open ended to where you have them by the balls but nearly ever carrier does. Everything goes smooth until it doesn't and then...
I've found Convoy more agreeable in this respect than any live broker I've dealt with. I've had 3 problem loads that required a layover with Convoy out of more than 150 loads. All three were met with acceptable results for me and the receiver. Convoy is owned by Alphabet which owns Google. They are a bottomless pit of money and bend over backwards to make sure most loads go smoothly, regardless of how much it costs them.
