You probably should have negotiated for detention pay before agreeing to the load. Also reserve the right to adjust the delivery time after loading is completed.
Of course you could have logged two of those hours as off duty and that would count for split logging, so no net loss of time.
I don't think you were stupid or wrong, but you did learn a lesson about checking details BEFORE accepting the load.

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
-- J R R Tolkien
