What is prayiong? Do you mean praying? There is a spell check on this forum. Before you start into a tirade you may want to consider checking your spelling so that the other person can understand what you are saying.
I never said anything about burning up your 14 hour clock. I think that carriers should start charging warehouses to sit. Some do. If they collect detention from a warehouse then they should compensate the driver for sitting.
I thing what some of these warehouses and produce facilities do is criminal. I have ALWAYS felt that it was wrong for a carrier to be forced to pay a shipper to unload their own products. I also think it is wrong for a carrier to pay a lumper $200-300 to unload a truck but only pay a driver $40. If a driver has to unload his own truck then I think he should be paid the same as a lumper.
I don't like dealing with lumpers and I don't want to deal with grocery warehouses. So, I don't pull a reefer.
