GetDockPay is the detention pay app for truck drivers and owner-operators. When a shipper or receiver keeps you waiting past your free time, GetDockPay stamps your arrival and departure with your phone's GPS, works out the detention time and pay from your free time and hourly rate, and builds a detention invoice you can send to the broker.

WHY DETENTION PAY GOES UNPAID
Drivers reported detention at 39.3% of stops in 2023. Carriers billed it only 75% of the time, and only 55% of those invoices were paid (ATRI, 2024). The bills that get paid have the times, the signed BOL and the rate con behind them. GetDockPay keeps that record for every stop.

TRACK DETENTION TIME WITH GPS
• GPS time stamps: tap Arrived, Dock In, Completed and Departed. Each tap records your phone's GPS position and the time. If you are far from the facility's saved pin, the app asks before it logs the arrival.
• Load details: load number, rate con number, appointment time and a check-in stamp go on the invoice.
• Advance notice: while you are on site, email the broker that detention applies once free time runs out.
• Dock directory: pick the shipper or receiver from thousands of pre-loaded US docks, ramps and ports, or add your own.

DETENTION PAY MATH AND THE INVOICE
• Detention math: your free time and your rate, to the minute. Example: 2 hours free, $75 an hour and a 5-hour wait = 3 billable hours = $225.
• Invoice PDF: your GPS times and a map of the stop, with links to your BOL photos, in one PDF you can export or share.
• Broker Pay Score and Dock Score for the brokers and facilities you work with: GetDockPay drivers' ratings and how many claims sent through GetDockPay were paid.

NEW IN 1.1 (PRO)
• Auto-detect arrival: pick the facility on Log Stop and your phone watches one zone reaching about 700 ft from the facility's pin. When your truck enters, you get a reminder to log Arrived. When it leaves, one to log Departed. Nothing is logged until you open the app and tap. It stays off until you turn it on in Profile, and it needs location set to "Allow all the time" and notifications on.
• Dock reminders and a live dock timer: a reminder 30 minutes before your appointment and at appointment time, a running timer from your arrival stamp in your notifications, an alert when free time ends and an hourly running total while you wait.
• Attach your ELD log: export the day from your ELD app as a PDF, or add a screenshot. Any ELD brand works, and the invoice lists it as "ELD log".

PRO SENDS THE INVOICE AND THE NOTICES
• We email your invoice to the broker. The invoice is notice 1, and replies come straight to you.
• Then the Second, Third and Fourth Notice go out by email on day 3, 7 and 14 after sending, unless you mark the claim paid or denied first. The Fourth Notice is the last automatic one.
• The claim screen counts every notice sent and shows the date of the next one.
• The full Broker & Dock Scores directory: browse and search every rated broker and facility, not just the ones you work with.
