Tornado Watch NW Ohio until 8pm tonight 5/11.
On May 7th I was Detained for a total of 4.5 hrs. At the Shipper with a GM Load.
I was told by 2 Dispatchers/Load Planners that the first 1.5 is on me.
I was informed today that GM doesn't have to Pay me Detention period on this Load.
This was at a Ceva Cross Dock. They finally brought 5 skids out to a spot behind my Sprinter. I checked their Part No. And qty. and it didn't match what I was supposed to pick up. Called in to inform Dispatch, then spoke with a couple Dispatch Managers there explaining my find. They were iffy on my discovery, but in the end, 3 hrs. On my Dime, they found the correct 4 Skids with matching Parts. Now, Remember, they were about to Load me incorrectly. TN to MI, but I caught it. Been with Bolt-Express for 4 years now and this is a FIRST!
That's just wrong. They say, due to the fact that this was an error by Nashville ODC and not GM, I won't get Paid any Detention of the total 4.5 hrs.. I relayed out the copied emails of the two Dispatchers that night that confirmed when my DP began. I feel WRONGED. Time on a Load = $. Do they work for 4.5 or even 3 hrs. For FREE?
