The problem

Unpaid detention is the silent paycheck killer

Every OTR driver knows the wait. Few have the paper trail to get paid for it. DetentionGuard Pro fixes that — without corporate BS.

Hours vanish at the dock

Shippers and receivers run late. You sit. Your clock bleeds. Dispatch says "hang tight."

Detention pay gets denied

Carriers want proof — exact IN/OUT times, grace period math, signed verification. Paper notes don't cut it.

Disputes turn into he-said-she-said

Without a clean record, you're arguing from memory while payroll moves on to the next load.

Real money left on the table

Even one missed detention filing per week can cost hundreds a month — straight out of your pocket.

How it works

Four taps. Full paper trail.

Built for gloved hands, bad signal, and 2 AM dock waits. Big buttons. High contrast. No learning curve.

01

Arrive & check in

One tap when you hit the dock. Optional GPS stamps your location. Timer starts — grace period counts down automatically.

02

Wait with proof running

The app tracks UTC time, your hourly rate, and grace period. Works offline at truck stops with spotty WiFi.

03

Check out & file

End the session. Review earnings. Add BOL notes and photos if you want. Generate a signed detention pay request.

04

Send to payroll

Pro: one-tap email to carrier payroll with you CC'd. Free: copy report manually. Either way — clear timestamps, your signature, your rate.

Features

Everything you need to prove detention — nothing you don't

Driver earnings only. No broker rates. No fleet surveillance. Just the tools to protect your pay.

GPS detention detection

Optional location capture at check-in/out. Include it in your report when you want extra backup.

Grace period + rate math

Your hourly rate and free-time window — down to the cent. UTC math you can defend in a dispute.

Digital signature

Signed reports carriers expect. Unsigned filings get rejected — we make signing dead simple.

One-tap payroll email

Pro sends signed detention summaries straight to carrier payroll. You stay CC'd on every filing.

Full session history

Review every detention filing. Weekly earnings summaries. Know what you're owed before you ask.

Offline-first PWA

Timer keeps running without signal. Install to home screen. Built for truck stop WiFi reality.

Export-ready claims

Plain-text reports formatted for payroll disputes — BOL refs, notes, timestamps, optional GPS block.

Privacy-first by design

Local-first storage. No selling driver data. Firebase backend only for billing, backup, and reliability.

Placeholder driver quotes — replace with verified testimonials as you collect them.

Used to lose detention every week because I couldn't prove exact times. Now I check in, check out, email payroll. Done.

The grace period timer alone paid for the subscription the first month. Carrier stopped short-paying me on waits.

Works offline at the truck stop. Big buttons I can hit with gloves on. Finally an app that gets how we actually work.
