Do truckers get paid while they're waiting to get loaded?

TruckerWannabe123:
Seems like the obvious answer is yes but maybe it varies from company to company? I’ve watched some trucking vlogs and they sometimes have to wait around for over an hour and I just wondered if they’re getting paid for that. Do you just switch your tacho to “being loaded” or something?

It’s usually 2-3 hours on shipping containers.

Can be longer.

A lovely part of the day when one is sitting about getting paid to sleep.
