If you read the story in Phil’s thread about brokers being displaced by automation, you should have read the story linked to it about a Federal judge in Arkansas ruling that PAM should pay it’s drivers for all time away from home except meals and sleeping. At least minimum wage. ( betcha Manny ain’t happy.)
The cabinet maker in Lowell In pays his drivers something like $11.00 per hour. 24 hrs per day from leaving the yard, typically Sunday, until they return, often Friday or Saturday. (This was 8 or 9 years ago.)
Screw detention. If you’re with the truck, you ought to be compensated . Walmart figured this out many years ago when they started paying drivers an overnight pay for using the sleeper.
Hopefully we’ll see more of this as the fight for quality drivers continues to heat up.
