Detention Timer

No Wait Goes Unpaid. Detention Timer is real-time load tracking and automatic detention pay — in one app. Carriers, brokers, shippers, and customers get live shipment visibility. Drivers get every minute of wait time documented and billable. Everyone sees the same truth. Most tracking apps watch the driver and give nothing back. Detention Timer flips that: the same GPS that shows your load's location also proves your detention — so waiting at the dock finally pays. REAL-TIME TRACKING (carriers, brokers, shippers & customers) - Live GPS location on every active load - Automatic arrival and departure at each stop - No more check calls or "where's my truck?" - Status your customers can trust DETENTION PROTECTION (drivers) - Real-time detention timer at every stop - Free-time and appointment rules applied automatically - Arrival, check-in, at-door, and departure all timestamped - BOL/POD photos tied to the load as proof - Load history with detention totals you can bill from WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Detention Timer isn't surveillance. It's the first tracking app built to protect the driver's clock, not just the broker's. One tap. One photo. No wait goes unpaid. PRIVACY Location, including in the background, is used only to detect arrival and departure at assigned facilities during active loads — solely for tracking and detention. When your load is finished, tracking stops. Location recorded after a load ends is never kept. The last two privacy sentences are from the July 27 location-consent spec — same wording as the in-app rationale. Do not write “the moment your load is finished.” Stale line: “Arrival, check-in, at-door, and departure…” At Door is no longer a driver action. If you want the listing to match the app, swap that bullet for: - Arrival, check-in, and departure all timestamped Screenshot captions (client order): 1. In Transit / live tracking → Track every load in real time 2. Arrived on site (auto-detected) → We detect arrival automatically 3. I'm Checked In + detention clock → No wait goes unpaid 4. Stops timeline → One tap. One photo. Full proof.
