    Hate when that happens. Been getting loads in 2 and 3 days early with the promise of a repower and surprise no repower when I get there :biggrin_2559:.

    Looks like I might get a couple of extra days. Sent in my daily, empty, and a message to call for dispatch. But with weekend crew on the job I will probably just call and get something monday morning :biggrin_25526:.

    Never put your trust in the weekend crew!

    Detention? I get it without asking. It shows up on my settlement sheet. That's all I care about.

    In Wood River, NE tonight. Only 403 miles to Cedar Falls, so that will be a piece of cake tomorrow. Deliver noon on monday. Hope to be out of there by midnight (Target).

    then it's off to Waterloo, I'm sure.

    I don't know what is up lately with too much time on loads... and NO repowers... too many trucks for the freight, so they dispatch us, and give us an extra day to get there, then ignore us...
    Sitting at a service plaza, Valley Forge PA... have a delivery in the am just down the road on the north side of Philly... then up to Mass, for drop 2, and then Maine for drop 3.

    Detention pay, I have always gotten it when I have arrived on time. Layover Pay, sitting when empty, I have never gotten, they always get me dispatched before the 48 hours are up.

    Target, Cedar Falls, detention city....
    We do pick up other places than waterloo.... Right down the road from target...
    But most of the time off to the mud pittt....

    I did get a pre plan for monday... surprise, 70 miles empty, 320 loaded... delivers tuesday evening... too much time... again...

    Detention pay is easy, just get stuck at the reciever for 3+ hours :biggrin_25523:. $12.50/hr or something like that after 2 hours. IDK i just look at it as icing on the cake when it shows up on my check never spent enough time sitting to really collect alot from it. Layover I've never recieved but I'm pretty sure it says something about that somewhere lol.

    Actually the weekend folks came through i think...
    Nursery load out of Houston with 3 drops in AR and 2 in MO.
    WEEEE!
