These large OTR outfits are the scourge of society.

The way my company pays detention and layover should be the model for all. If I arrive and can't immediately begin my work (load or unload), I go straight to hourly (at $25 an hour). I had to sit for 1.5 hours yesterday at a construction job site. That's $37.50 more in my pocket for that load.

If I have to sit on a load (has only happened twice in 2 years), I get my average daily pay, not some b.s. $100 layover pay. This happened to me last week.

I showed up and the customer was not going to be able to hold it for 8-10 hours so I took it home and came back the next day. Of course, the obvious question is "Why did you order it if your silo is full?". But, sometimes they have a machine breakdown and can't run product, or it was simply a mistake in the office where someone fat fingered an entry, or forgot to input a previous load. Who knows?

These jobs are out there, but you're not likely going to find them advertised. The owner of the outfit I run for has never advertised. And, in the 2.5 years I've been here, he's hired maybe 4 people and that's because of guys retiring or being medically disqualified to drive anymore. We had one new guy actually quit and that's just because he was too lazy to actually have to perform an ounce of manual labor and hook a hose up to a silo or a pig so he went back to swinging doors.

Schneider sucks ###, theyll send you too lots that are located on a route thats not legal for trucks, then expect the driver to pay it and still keep trying to send the driver there
