    The directions are fixed, I have gotten them. When the system first went into effect the fm had to manually bring them up from the old system to send them. Most fms just says they weren't working, my guy sent them to me.

    after 4 hours waiting you start getting paid, make sure you ask for it.

    Really...How much, and what are the qualifications for this. If this is the case I have been missing more than just the money they told me they'd put on their, but not. Caught it last week from 2 weeks ago, and FM ask me did I tell him. I said yes, I sent you multiple emails and you responded back as well. Then I told you Monday, and you said you would give it to me...Never heard anything back and he is off this past week and this week.

    The biggest thing I don't get is how do we request directions for shippers? I've tried different times to request shipper directions via macros. Before & after sending DH message, waiting a little after sending DH message, etc... The response is always from the consignee of previous load.

    I'm lucky that most of the shippers I've had I've been to before, or are right off the interstate and I can just use my google maps on the phone/laptop.

    It's after four hours of your appointment time was what I was told. I have received this before matter of fact I was able to collect some compensation
    Monday.

    4 hours after appt time, 15 an hr. 120/day break down. Same for detention.

    I am realizing that compensation is subjective, based on the quality of your fm. My guy has been at USIT for years and he is fair. I usually never ask for anything, he tells me I have something coming. Rare here from what I gather.

    The directions thing is still slow. My guy sends them to me in a free form message if I have an issue. I just call the shipper/receiver, but lately they haven't given us phone numbers. Hopefully the system will work itself out.

    Glad to know that. I will let my FM know that I need to start getting paid for sitting places, like when I sat at Coke in CT for 11.5hrs. That would've been $112.50

    Wow, but considering he is new, he may not know. But I plan to inform him. As I said I sit every weekend, so I try and get something, just noticed I haven't been getting what I was told I would. Now I need to go back through all my pay stubs and make sure I got paid.

    I keep a note book of everything, miles, Weight tickets, lumper receipts. Every time I get a pay stub my wife and I go over every thing. Should not be a shocker, USA makes a few mistakes here and there. They seem happy to fix them. They figure some people just don't say anything and get angry.

    I do the same. It's hard to remember all the stuff sometimes. That's why when you see people complaining on here about stuff like that, you know they don't keep good records themselves.
