Layover
In short
Layover is when a driver is stuck for a day or more because the load isn't ready or the warehouse won't take the truck.
In plain words
It's like a twenty-hour layover at the airport.
You're technically on the road, but you're going nowhere. Just sitting there eating overpriced sandwiches.
In trucking, that kind of waiting usually earns extra pay.
Most often it's $100 to $250 per day.
But only if you agreed on it with the broker ahead of time and have it in writing.
