Trucking Layover is when a driver is delayed by a shipper or receiver for one or more days.
Layover pay is the rate that the driver is paid by the trucking company or the company of the shipper or receiver. Layover pay is dependent on the company. Most companies have policies on when layover pay starts and at what rate they will pay it out.
The standard is layover pay does not start until after you have been delayed for a full 24 hours.
Then continue to pay out for every 24 hours of your delay. Some companies have an even longer minimum time before they payout layover pay. The actual amount that the driver gets paid can vary as well.
