Should the driver get all of the detention pay, since it was his time, or since it still costs the truck owner money with fuel costs idling the truck, should the detention pay get divied up between the 2?

I pay my company drivers half of detention/stop off/2 door drop etc. My owner-ops get 100% of the accesorials...detention, FSC, stop-offs/2 door drops etc. Im in the flatbedding industry ...but run a few dumps servicing the steel mills.
