If they're held up at the dock, the carrier receives detention charges, so it's in the shipper's best interest to load the driver as fast as possible.

I see you refuse to answer the question ,,, the answer is NOTHING! you can sit all weekend and not get paid. And it happens regularly. While your at it, please advise how many hours a typical driver drives a DAY, lets see,, they changed the rules some was it 10 or 11 plus a few extra not driving!

I did answer it. They still get paid. If it's a dedicated lane, that driver is on salary, not per-miles. And sitting all weekend is rare for most drivers. Even then, the consignee (delivery point) reimburses the carrier.

It's 14 hours per day and they can use the remaining 10 hours however they want.
