Default Hotel In-Lieu-Of

I had a trip which involved a double deadhead this month. I requested 4 days of hotel in lieu of on the front end and was accepted.

Shortly after booking hotels/wife's travels, the trip canceled and I was put in Sub.

I know the deviation bank stays with me per the contract, but is it still possible to expense the hotel charges to the already accepted mini-bank? I'm guessing if I try to expense the hotel it will ask which trip it involves and since the trip has been removed from my schedule it won't work?

Thanks for the help!

I have wondered about this one too. Hopefully someone can answer. My GUESS would be that since the deviation bank is still yours, you can use it for hotel-in-lieu of DH, specially with the pre-approval.

Well….

My experience has been that the bank exists as long as you accept the whole sub window and do not decline it. Even though the bank exists, I could not select the D/H leg in the Fox system to associate it with the hotel in lieu. So in short…. I could not do the hotel in lieu.

I would call the expense folks and ask them directly.

Even if you decline sub, you keep the bank associated with the original trip

On another note, if I understand your description of events are you trying to expense a hotel cost associated with a trip that never started..??

I think that will raise eyebrows from many in management

It won't work. Yes you keep the deadhead bank but still must be within 3 days of an event to use it. Sub isn't an event. Only if you get assigned something when you are in sub.

It would help to know what company you worked for. This is the CARGO forum. Thanks.

What difference, at this point, does it make?

Thanks for all the responses.

Sorry I didn't clarify the company - FedEx.

I just didn't know how this worked since I already had the pre approval. Obviously now the trip is gone from my schedule I just didn't want to screw anything up. Guess I'll forget about using the bank for hotels. Thanks again everyone.
