Trucking & LogisticsWorkflow Management4HighOwner$ implied

Truck drivers incur uncompensated costs and lost time due to excessive detention at loading/unloading facilities, impacting profitability despite some detention pay.

Current detention pay models do not adequately cover the costs of lost productivity, fuel burned, and driver wages during extended waits, especially when facility workers are inefficient or on breaks.
