New Detention Rates
With the price of most dealerships now charging on average $140.00 per hour for their labor. It is time for we truckers to ask for the same.
$140.00 per hour maybe should become our standard detention rate.
I know that shippers and brokers seem to want to pay $25-$50 per hour, and on the high side $75.00-$100.00 per hour. I don't get to tell the shop how much they can charge to work on my trucks. Why do shippers and brokers believe they can establish the rates for detention on my trucks?
ELDS coming on shippers/brokers. Get ready to pony up the money. Giddee up Giddee up. Thank your buddies at the ATA for the ELD. Yep it was us little guys that were out there screaming for ELD ELD bring on the ELD. Now that they are coming I am planning on you having to pay us for all that supposed free time that you have been enjoying in the past.
One more thing for you folks (we charge a $500.00 appointment charge now because of the ELD's) FCFS no appointment charge. My guys love it.
