There are only so many hours in the day. How many of those hours do you spend in detention and dwell time?
The answer, according to industry research, is “too many.” A recent ATRI study showed that nearly 26% of drivers spend between 2 to 4 hours in detention, and 23% of drivers wait longer. Those hours spent waiting add up to lost income, increased driver fatigue, and decreased safety. 1
What’s Being Done About Detention Time?
Many carriers split detention fees with drivers who spend more than two hours waiting. While these fees help drivers recover some of their lost time and wages, they often don’t pay the same as driving hours. They also do nothing to alleviate the boredom and fatigue caused by waiting.
Detention Time Affects Everyone
Drivers know the problems caused by waiting all too well. But carriers are also affected when drivers are made to wait. For every hour a driver spends in detention or dwell time, the schedules for both the initial delivery and next jobs slip. Often, carriers have loads waiting and no drivers to move them.
