Calculate total wait time, billable truck detention, and estimated detention pay using your check-in, check-out, free-time allowance, and hourly rate.
This is an estimate only. Always follow the detention terms on your rate confirmation and keep check-in/check-out documentation.
Keep the scheduled appointment time, facility address, arrival time, and any check-in receipt or gate record.
Save the signed BOL, POD, gate ticket, or other proof showing when the truck was released.
Check the free-time allowance, hourly rate, notice requirements, and any cap before requesting payment.
Detention is time a truck spends waiting at a shipper or receiver beyond the free time allowed by the applicable agreement or rate confirmation.
Enter check-in and check-out times, the free-time allowance, and the hourly detention rate. The calculator subtracts free time from total waiting time, then applies the hourly rate to the billable detention.
No. Payment still depends on the rate confirmation, documentation, appointment compliance, and the broker or shipper's rules.
Free time is the waiting period allowed before detention begins. Use the free-time allowance stated in the rate confirmation or applicable agreement.
