How it works
From dock delay to organized packet in three steps.
Review the calculation
See the elapsed time, free-time deduction, rounding, charges, tax, cap, and potential total before generating anything.
Prepare the packet
Print or save the summary, invoice, claim email, evidence checklist, and editable follow-up timeline.
What you get
A repeatable detention documentation process.
DetentionDesk does not decide whether a charge is owed. It helps carriers present the information and terms they entered in a consistent format.
Detention calculator
Use your selected start rule, end time, free-time allowance, rate, increment, and rounding method.
Professional invoice
Turn entered load and billing details into a consistent, print-friendly invoice summary.
Claim email
Generate editable wording for a broker or customer without inventing contractual terms.
Evidence checklist
Separate included, missing, and not-applicable supporting records before submission.
Follow-up schedule
Organize a Day 0, 2, 5, 10, 15, and 30 follow-up sequence.
Claim history
The production version will securely save drafts, completed packets, and next actions.
Sample calculation
Every number remains visible.
The user chooses the applicable start and end times. The calculator subtracts free time, applies the selected increment and rounding rule, and shows the result.
