It looks like your wife's friend needs a better broker because all the companies we deal with charge us.
Our shipper won't schedule a truck unless we know that the load is ready due to how steep the fees can be.
When we shipped some equipment to a major trade show, they try to schedule it so that the truckers have a minimum wait but the show will also pay the detention fees back if they were the source of the delay.
- csours 9y agoJust because you're getting charged, doesn't mean the trucker is getting paid.
- SomeCallMeTim 9y agoHonestly, I would guess you've nailed it: The delivery company is collecting a fee because they are only paid for per delivery, so making a driver (and truck) wait doesn't otherwise make them money. But there's no guarantee that the fees are passed on to the driver. Just in case, I'll pass a question back through my wife to see if some truckers are actually paid for waiting. They talk to each other; I bet they all know if anyone is paid to wait.
