Getting Started

What is Detention Pay Tracker?

Detention Pay Tracker is a mobile app that automatically documents the time you spend waiting at shipping and receiving facilities — and generates a professional PDF certificate you can submit to your freight broker to get paid for that time.

Who is it for?

Owner-operators and small trucking fleets (1–5 trucks) who haul loads and regularly experience detention at docks but struggle to get compensated because they lack documentation.

How much does it cost?

$19/month with a 14-day free trial. No contracts, cancel anytime from within the app.


Using the App

How do I start a trip?

  1. Tap + New Trip on the Dashboard
  2. Search for and select the facility you're heading to (or create a new one)
  3. Enter your load number and broker info (optional but recommended)
  4. Tap Start Trip

The app will automatically detect when you arrive and depart using GPS geofencing.

Do I need to tap anything when I arrive?

The app detects your arrival automatically when you enter the facility's geofence. You don't need to do anything.

If the automatic detection doesn't trigger, tap I've Arrived on the Active Trip screen as a manual backup. This captures your location at that moment.
