Frequently Asked Questions

What is detention time?

Detention time is the period a truck driver spends waiting at a shipper or receiver facility beyond the agreed-upon free time (usually 2 hours). This waiting time costs drivers money in lost miles and should be compensated.

How much should I charge for detention?

Industry standard detention rates range from $25-$100 per hour after the free time expires. Most carriers charge $50-$75/hour. DetentionTime helps you calculate and document the exact amount owed.

Do I need detention time tracking if I'm a company driver?

Yes. Even company drivers benefit from tracking detention. It helps your carrier bill shippers accurately, and many companies share detention pay with drivers or use it for facility ratings.

How does GPS verification work?

When you start your detention clock, DetentionTime automatically records your GPS coordinates. This proves you were physically at the facility during the claimed detention period — making your claims virtually indisputable.

Can I try DetentionTime for free?

Absolutely. The free plan includes 5 detention events per month with basic tracking. No credit card required. Upgrade to Pro anytime for unlimited events and AI-powered claims.
