Amazon's automated accessorial pay system denies detention pay when a mandatory guard check-in is impossible due to a facility fire, because no alternative process exists for exception handling.
Existing solutions rely solely on a gate check-in for accessorial pay, but provide no fallback when the check-in is not possible (e.g., facility closed/fire), and disputes are limited to a single unreviewable decision.

Workarounds Described
- calls ROC and waits 30 minutes to explain situation
- has driver wait on site until morning without guaranteed pay
Implied Software Gaps
- Software that logs arrival via GPS and photo when guard check-in fails, with automated exception handling
- Software that provides multi-step dispute resolution with human review instead of one-time decision
App Concept
FairDock Accessorial Resolver
An automated system that records arrival via GPS and time-stamped photo when guard check-in is unavailable, and allows drivers to log exceptions before departure. It submits detention requests with evidence, tracks approvals, and escalates disputes with a human reviewer — eliminating the single-decision dead end.
Key Features
- GPS + NFC + photo-based arrival logging when guard check-in is unattainable
- Exception pre-logging: drivers record reason (fire, closure, no guard) before leaving
- Detention timer auto-starts on arrival, with manual override for safety concerns
- Dispute escalation with human review, not one-time decision
Target Users: Owner-operators and small trucking companies (1-20 trucks) who haul for Amazon Relay and face automated accessorial denials.
Revenue Model: $49/month per company subscription, with a pay-per-dispute option at $5 per escalated case.
