6. If you are out of route.

location, including your assigned Service Center.

off.
Layover pay will end if a driver is directed to perform local work and

(SBU Vice Presidents must approve any exceptions.)
Detention Pay (Teams Split)
Company drivers are paid $12.50 per hour per truck for Detention
Pay after three hours. In addition to the time you spend driving, your
mileage pay is designed to compensate you for such incidental time spent
loading and unloading at the shipper and/or consignee.
Drivers must send all Macros to qualify for Detention Pay.
U.S. Xpress requires drivers to record the in and out times on the bill
of lading. You must also have the signature of the customer representative
at the dock to confirm those in and out times.
If you do not record the times and get a signature from the customer
representative at the dock, you will not receive your detention pay for
that particular load. If for some reason the customer refuses to sign the
Bill of Lading (or if no customer representative is available), you must
note that the customer refused to sign the bill of lading – along with the
in and out times.
If there is a note that the customer refused to sign the bill of lading,
we will be following up with the customer to confirm this information
before paying detention.
Breakdown Pay (Per Person)

For each 24-hour period you are in breakdown status, you will be
paid $25 per diem. In addition, you will receive up to $50 per night
for motel expenses. Normal layover rules apply to breakdown issues.
However, you must be in breakdown status, and your truck must be
unavailable for rest in order to be approved for motel pay.
The following conditions apply to breakdown layovers:
1. Layover pay and motel pay will end if a driver is offered another
truck when one is available and the driver refuses to swap trucks.
2. Shop notification must occur before breakdown layover starts.
