Built Because Detention Pay Shouldn’t Require a Second Job
Owner-operators lose an estimated $15.1 billion a year to unpaid detention — not because they aren’t owed the money, but because collecting it takes time, paperwork, and proof most drivers don’t have on hand.
The problem we saw
94.5% of fleets charge detention. Fewer than half of those invoices actually get paid. The gap isn’t about the rules — brokers and shippers routinely honor detention pay when it’s documented properly. The gap is that a handwritten time on a Bill of Lading is easy to dispute, easy to lose, and easy to ignore.
What we built instead
WaitClaim turns your phone into the proof. A single tap locks your GPS location and timestamp the moment you arrive at a dock, and another tap does the same when you leave. From there, the math — free time, rounding, rate — is automatic, and the invoice that goes to the broker is timestamped and geofence-verified instead of handwritten.
Who it’s for
WaitClaim is built for independent owner-operators and small fleets (1–20 trucks) who don’t have a back office dedicated to chasing detention pay. If that’s you, this was built for exactly your situation.
