Detention/shipper wait pay

Have you called your DM?

 

Question were you late? And are you loading at Budweiser? Lol

 

Usually at least 25/hr but 50/hr at good companies

 

Guarantee it's no where near enough to make up for the hassle.........










Of working for Swift

 

That's very true happy to work for a good company

 

This is a Swift thread...

 

What a novel idea!

 

If its an appointment you have to be on time and detention begins two hours after that appointment time and pays $25 an hour to a maximum of eight hours . You must also reply to the hourly Qualcomm messages although what you put in the reply is inconsequential .

Don't bother calling your DM . Its pretty much an automatic procedure .

 

The amount varies by customer for me. I got $50 for an hour from one last week, but also had to give them 3 hours.
Pulled a JBH load last week, and it was no hassle, paid extremely well, and I actually got loaded before my appointment time. On the second page of the contract there is a number to call to report your arrival to them, this number has to be called and you logged in with that department, not the broker from JBH you are dealing with, OR all bets are off.
When I pulled refer the detention was farking ridiculous. I was at HEB in San Antonio once for like 14 hours. That company guaranteed detention after 2 hours. Well I got 6 hours, and was told if I wasn't happy with that to turn in the truck.
Good luck.
If your a company driver your up against it. I think it's better once you get your own rig.
