Our rate on the detention is a little better than .25/hour but still lose a whole day there. Worst part about it is that I loaded a second truck to go there before I knew there was a problem.

Add another $750.00- $1000.00 to your normal rate for normal locations and then you are covered. That is what most of us do at those locations that think our time is for free. Make them Pre-Pay for the time. I know the shipper and broker will squawk but who cares, if they don't like then they need to put it on their own trucks.

The guy that weighed me in laughed and said you will be here at least 24 hours. He even said the place was a dump.Receiver said the higher ups had a meeting over the wait time... Basically came back and said we were all just screwed. Supposedly they pay $25/hr wait time unless of course it gets to be to much... Then they want a daily rate. I'm still waiting on that pay from right before Xmas. Highly recommend staying away!

I started tanker pulling mostly ISO tanks, then got offered a dedicated run pulling propane trailers. I'm not home everyday, but weekend and couple times during the week.
