Trailer is dropped and receiver is not willing to unload

Thank you! You really wait only two hours to get loaded? Four hours is pretty usual with many loads. I leave after 6-8 hours. The broker still wants you to wait. But you won't most likely be unloaded by the receiver. I better lose that one day and not be stuck for days with it.

 

How much do you charge to unload/dispose the product that wasn't accepted because they loaded the wrong product? If you have like 100 cases? How much would you charge? It happened to me more than once already. And I asked for more money but never got it.

 

If I am not loaded within 6-8 hours at the shipper, I leave. I get paid only the TRUCK NOT USED fee which is usually from $125 to $250. How is that even legal if a driver worked for 12 hours and used his equipment, paid for the fuel, tollways, etc?
Why nobody is doing anything to stop this practice? It's illegal but legal. It doesn't make sense. It doesn't even pay the minimum wage.

I will check with OOIDA why are they not doing anything to stop this illegal practice?

 

How is it illegal?

 

Because it doesn't meet the minimum wage. The driver working for 12 hours getting paid only $150 for a load that was never loaded. At the same time, paying for fuel, tollway, and using his own equipment. That is why it should be illegal since the cost is way higher. And the driver should be paid at least the minimum wage plus get money for the money spent accepting the load.

 

That is sad.

 

I take it you're not actually an OO?

 

I am.
