Yes, more info would help like why they can’t return. Breakdown, weather, delayed at shipper/receiver. If the reason is out of their control, yes, they should be compensated.

I work for ABF, we are paid hourly as well. If we break down or can’t drive due to bad weather, we are put up in a hotel and are paid the entire time until we return and clock out at our home terminal. It would be rare to never that the city drivers would have this happen but our terminal line-haul guys could get stuck at the DC in Carlisle where this policy would go into effect.

Sorry about that! Newbie issues :) He was stuck in LA due to shipping/receiving issues with customer (our business is based in Fresno). He stopped at his 14 hours and came back next day (after 10 hours off), I went ahead and had him take the rest of the day off (paid) once he arrived back home to make up.

Hi there!! Hoping someone can help me as I am new to DOT regulations, trucking, etc.....we have an employee stuck in LA and will not make it back within his 14 hrs....Question is since trip is less than 24 hours, do we have to pay him? He is an hourly employee (and we don't pay mileage)
