TONU
Truck Order Not Used
In short
TONU stands for Truck Order Not Used. It's money paid to the driver when a load is canceled at the last minute.
In plain words
Picture this: candles lit, music playing, shirt already on the floor.
Then she says, 'Oh, you know... not tonight.'
Ouch. In real life, nobody pays you for that. In trucking, they do.
TONU usually runs from $100 to $250.
Not a million bucks, but at least it gets your fuel back.
One catch: the cancellation has to be in writing with the broker. A phone call doesn't count.
