Man, been against this dock since 2am this morning...and the light is still RED
(12:44pm afternoon). Thought I'd start a thread--place where drivers can warn other drivers of dangerous(money losing) pits like this. And do a little---venting at the same time.

Walgreens- Perrysburg, Oh----10.75hrs and counting

 

You would think carriers would have database with that info. But then again, think comes into play.

 

well..you can bet I'll think twice next time i see a load offer that says-

Perrysburg, Oh

oh well, I got here right at the 14th hour mark--had to take a 10hr break anyway.....maybe I'll see that detention pay. I sent the macro off. Got the PO---but you know--I haven't found a single consignee that would ever sign their "John Hancock" to that form! And if present it to them before they're finished--they slow down even more(IMHO).

 

Bunch of BS if you have to have the warehouse sign a form for you to get your detention pay.

Would not surprise me if your company has been billing them since the 2nd hour since you arrived or whenever you actual appointment time was.

 

Find out the dock foreman's name. If they won't sign, just write it in on the line.

 

No, I'll just be honest about it all, and present it to them(make them aware there might be a claim) and if they refuse to sign-----I'll just sign "REFUSED TO SIGN" at the bottom like always.---

but, yeah, I hear ya...often wonder if the company sometimes collects- but
doesn't share.

Doesn't happen very often- we do mostly drop&hook-
And I did need a 10hr break to be legal anyway.

 

I was once stuck at IBP in Dakota City, NE for 36 hours because production had to be haulted due to somebody slicing their finger off.

 

wow...small world...I just picked up there (drop&hook) last week, now I'm running the same(pre-load) from weirton, wv to crete,ne---wonder, if i'll be
picking up there again friday.

36hrs is a too long a detain...did you reset your hours?

 

I love being delayed at the companies, after the first two hours I get $30.00 an hour or $7.50 every 15 min.

Last week I was delayed for 9 hours minus the first two free hours. I made $210.00 for sleeping and going into their breakroom and hooking up my laptop and surfing the net.

Gotta love it.

 

Who do you drive for? :?: :?:
