Unable to unload me

Depending on if your company pays it or not. You have to say something to them. Make sure you contact them via the Qualcomm and have them confirm it there so you can have it in writing.

 

Depends on what you agreed on when starting the job. If detention was part of the package you should get it. If not, no.
Learn from it and the next company look at the full pay package. (If you in fact don't like the terms of this company)

 

Sounds to me like your carrier needs a new account manager. That is really weird. You were on time, even 30 minutes early? Then they refused to unload you? Something is 100% wonky here!

 

I'd ask for $200 a day waiting. Depends on your average pay really.

 

Yes, and somebody in the main office at your carrier is an idiot! You don't do drivers this way. This whole situation is wonky. I stand by that! it is the epitome of stupid to schedule an appointment 45 minutes after they close the docks. I have learned many years ago to NEVER assume intelligence when it comes to dispatch and account managers. If this is a broker load, then that broker needs to get some correction.

 

I was thinking of saying the same thing. I'm guilty of just letting the chips fall as they may and letting the company pay for their mistakes instead of fixing them myself, though. Running the LTL loads I do I make the appointments, so half the time it's my fault if the time doesn't work.
