Detention Recovery
$1.9M
That's what a 100-truck fleet loses every year to detention fees they earned but never collected.

Why the money disappears
No documentation
Drivers are driving. Facilities refuse to sign forms. The burden of proof is 100% on the carrier, and most detention events never get documented at all.
Missed deadlines
Every broker has different submission windows. Some give 24 hours, some give a week. Miss it by a day and the claim is dead regardless of merit.
Not worth chasing
Your office manager is juggling dispatch, billing, and compliance. A $150 claim that takes 90 days and 5 follow-ups to collect doesn't make the priority list.
How it works
ELD detects it
We plug into your existing ELD — Samsara, Motive, or any provider with an API. When a truck sits at a facility past the free time window, we see it from the GPS and HOS data. No driver input required. No app to install. No buttons to press.
Claims file automatically
We match the detention event to your rate confirmation, extract the contracted terms and deadline, assemble the documentation package (ELD timestamps, geofence data, BOL), and file the claim with the broker before their submission window closes.
Follow-up until paid
Automated escalation at 7, 14, and 30 days. If a broker ignores the claim, we escalate — demand letters, surety bond claims, the works. You see every claim on a single dashboard. Your office manager stops chasing paper and starts collecting money.
The math on a 100-truck fleet
Most carriers in the 5–200 truck range run 3–4% net margins. The detention money sitting on the table is often larger than your entire bottom line.
And detention is just the biggest category. The same system catches layover, TONU, lumper fees, and driver assist charges your back office doesn't have time to invoice.
Based on ATRI 2024 industry data. Dry van, broker freight mix, $60/hr blended detention rate, 39.3% detention frequency per stop.
Beyond detention
Same system, more of your back office automated.
Accessorial Recovery
Layover, TONU, driver assist. Same automation, same follow-up. More revenue in your pocket without more work.
Driver Settlement
Per-mile, per-stop, percentage splits, deductions. Automated from delivered loads. No more spreadsheets on Friday afternoon.
Compliance Tracking
DQ files, medical cards, CDL expirations. Alerts before anything lapses, not after a DOT audit puts you out of service.
Per-Truck P&L
Revenue, fuel, maintenance, insurance, tolls. By truck, by lane, by customer. Know which runs actually make money.
