4 is complete bs. Ask where in your contract it says 4hrs. They're lucky to get 2 for free and I dont even know how that became the standard.
Look at and always approach it like this, would any other worker give away 4hrs of their time at work for free? Nope.
Its gotten so far out of hand for a driver to just be expectes to sit and wait around for free at a shipper/reciever. And if you dont think the trucking co isnt fighting for some kind of detention $ for their equipment (especially if its a company truck), think again. They might not pay the driver any detention, but they'll sure try to cover their stuff.
Trucking has to be the most crooked business, well maybe 2nd to politics.RidgeRunner731, InTooDeep, dwells40 and 3 others Thank this. -
I will give them ten if they are polite, give me a place to park, and apologize. Lol. If not I try to bust it to them as much as humanly possible. Nobody with a truck wants detention. No money in that BS..

I just collected my first detention check. Been trucking since 2006. Have this one customer who is the perfect trifecta of incompetence, lazyness and disinterest. A live load that takes as long as 10 hrs. Got tired of it enough and told them anything after 4 hrs was $150 an hr. Took nine hours..... I get paid by the receiver, and they took it off the shipper's bill. I think I'm a fan of detention, now...
