DetentionDesk

Accessorial recovery ledger for dispatchers and small fleets

Local first. Your data stays in this browser.

Detention pay you earned should not quietly disappear.

Log every detention, TONU, layover, lumper and extra stop. DetentionDesk does the math, tracks the claim from unbilled to paid, flags money that is slipping away, and builds a clean claim packet in one click.

The problem

Small fleets lose detention money because waits are scribbled on paper, free time terms live in old rate cons, and nobody follows up after a claim is denied.

The fix

One ledger per load, automatic owed math, a status pipeline, red flags after 48 hours unbilled, and rankings that show which facilities and brokers cost you most.

No account, no subscription

No sign up, no paid API, no server. Everything saves to localStorage on this device. Export CSV any time for your own records.

      In and out timer

      Start a timer when a truck checks in. Stop it at checkout and DetentionDesk pre fills a detention entry.

      Multiple trucks can run timers at the same time.

      Broker templates

      Save a broker default free time and hourly rate once, then apply it to any new entry in one click.

      Saved templates

      Apply fills the entry form below. Delete removes the template only, not past entries.

      No broker templates saved yet.

      Carrier details for claim packets

      Saved on this device and printed at the top of every packet. Leave blank and the packet shows placeholder fields instead.

      Placeholders appear on packets for any field left blank.

      Add an accessorial entry

      Detention uses arrival and departure times. Flat fee types like TONU and lumper can use the flat fee mode.

      Owed math: billable hours beyond free time times rate, or the flat fee in flat mode.

      Ledger

      Unbilled entries older than 48 hours and every Denied entry are flagged in red.
