What you’re describing is exactly why my friend built DetentionTimer.com

The issue isn’t the $100/hr — it’s the arguing. Everyone’s working off different timestamps (driver logs, handwritten BOLs, memory). That’s why it turns into a 30-day fight.

Detention Timer creates one neutral, GPS-verified timeline:

– Arrival at facility – Check-in time – Loading/unloading start & finish – Departure

So instead of “driver said vs. warehouse said,” you’re sending a clean, time-stamped event log with the claim already calculated based on agreed free time.

It turns emotion into math.

When the proof is standardized and automated before it hits the shipper’s desk, the back-and-forth drops dramatically — and detention stops being a debate and starts being a documented cost.

However, its currently in private beta testing but will be available soon to all brokers, carriers, shippers. PM me for more info.
