Detention documentation and claim tool for freight brokers
Help brokers and carriers file proof-backed detention claims that get paid.
Why it can work
- Detention disputes take long emails and calls before payment.
- Carriers wait weeks to collect detention pay already agreed.
- Users are unclear which proof gets claims approved quickly.
Watch out
- Brokers may still deny claims despite documented proof.
- Unresponsive brokers may bypass the tool and file bond claims.

The job to be done
Document and collect detention pay claims
When a carrier or broker waits on detention time and must argue over it, they need proof-backed claims that get approved and paid, so they can recover pay without long email and call fights.

Trucking company loses hours to slow loading and a broker that stops responding, then offers only a small detention payment.
Brokers spend much of their day disputing detention time charges with shippers and carriers and struggle to get customers to pay without long fights.
Carriers wait weeks and multiple emails to collect detention and layover pay that brokers agreed to in the rate confirmation.
Show all
Broker withheld payment pending a revised carrier invoice for a $420 detention deduction, but the carrier went silent and filed a bond claim instead.
Student researching trucking operations is unsure how detention requests move through a brokerage and what slows them down.
Freight brokers are unclear which proof makes detention claims get approved quickly and why claims get denied, so the detention pay process feels opaque.
