{"replyTo":"","text":"That can happen, especially if you haul reefer. If you’re in CA picking up a produce load, it’s common for the product to not be ready. If you’re at a meat plant, there might be production delays. Some of the longest delays I have had happened at a meat plant, followed by produce loads in CA. ","replyToPid":0}

","text":"The dispatcher might have been aware of the problem, but the load needs to be given to someone. Mega companies have contracts with large shippers and they gotta move their product no matter what. Brokerage companies also have contracts and they gotta move the product. It comes with the business. There ain’t much we can do about it. I book my own freight and even I am susceptible to it because brokers lie or the shippers lie to brokers. "}

","text":"That’s mostly impractical, unless they tell you up front that it won’t be until tomorrow. If it’s just a few hours of delay, it’s best to just stay there and demand detention pay.","replyToPid":431237}
