Most of it never gets billed. TruckersClaims turns your wait into a claim you can actually send — free, in a minute.
Your arrival time is stamped with GPS. Close the app, nap, drive — the clock keeps running.
Billable hours past your free time are calculated in the increments your rate con uses.
A clean itemized claim, ready to email or print. Then you go get your money.
Move the sliders to your real week. Same math as the headline — 48 working weeks, your own rate.
Free gives you 3 claims a month, today, no card. Pro is paid securely through Stripe — cancel any time, no contract.
No contract, no card for Free. Cancel any time — your claims stay yours either way.
Yes. Free gives you 3 full claims a month with no card — real, send-ready claims. Pro is a paid plan we're still building — when it launches, building claims stays free.
It depends on who pays you, and the app asks you once:
Your own authority: you send the claim to the broker's billing email (it's on your rate con). They pay you with your freight pay, usually within about 30 days.
You factor your loads: you send it to your factoring company with the BOL. They collect from the broker and pay you like the rest of the load.
Company driver or leased on: you send a detention report to your dispatcher. Your carrier bills the broker and your share shows up on your settlement.
TruckersClaims never touches the money and never asks for your bank details.
No tool can force a broker to pay. What gets claims paid is clean, timestamped documentation and the detention terms on your rate con — which is exactly what this builds.
Send the notice 30 to 60 minutes before your free time runs out — many rate cons require it, and the app reminds you. Then send the claim within 24 hours of delivery, with the signed BOL. Some brokers refuse detention sent later than that, so check your rate con.
Your claims and details are saved on your own phone, so you don't retype them — they aren't uploaded to us. The one exception is the "Where am I?" button, which sends your coordinates to OpenStreetMap to get a place name back, and only when you tap it. A Pro account holds only what's needed to run your subscription.
No — and no website can. Browsers don't allow it. Auto-detect works while TruckersClaims is open on your screen. Everything else (your running clock, your claims) is saved and waiting when you come back.
Nothing stops someone typing whatever they want — but TruckersClaims labels it. Times you tapped with GPS on say GPS-VERIFIED and carry coordinates. Times typed by hand say DRIVER-REPORTED. Brokers can tell the difference, which is exactly why the honest GPS claim gets paid.
Type your times in by hand. The GPS buttons are a shortcut, not a requirement.
An independent developer — not a brokerage, not a factoring company, not a load board. There's no lead-gen here because there's nothing to sell your info to.
Your times, your rate, a claim that's ready to send. Free, and your claims stay on your phone.
Everything you need to know, in plain words.
The broker pays you directly — TruckersClaims never touches your money. Here's the whole trip: you email the claim → the broker's accounts-payable person approves it → they add it to what they already owe you for the load → it lands the same way your freight money always does — direct deposit, check, or through your factoring company.
Most brokers pay on their normal cycle, usually 30 days. That's why the chaser waits until day 30 before nudging. You never give TruckersClaims a bank account, and no money ever passes through us — we write the paperwork, you get paid the way you always get paid.
When a shipper or receiver keeps you sitting past your free time, the broker who booked the load owes you detention under your rate confirmation — not the facility. (If you're direct with the shipper, then you bill the shipper.) TruckersClaims stamps your times, does the math, and writes the claim you send to get that money. It's free, and your claims are saved on your own phone.
1. When you arrive at the dock, hit Build my claim and tap I'M WAITING. Your arrival is stamped with the time and GPS.
2. Before your free time runs out, tap Copy broker notice and text or email it to your broker. Most rate cons require this — skip it and they can deny the whole claim.
3. When you're released, tap I'M RELEASED. Type who you're billing and the load number — that's all it needs. Hit Build claim, then email or print it. Send it the same day with your signed BOL.
4. When the broker pays, tap the ✓ on the saved claim so your totals stay right.
Set up once. Tap the person icon (top right) and fill in your company, MC and usual rate. After that, every claim fills those in for you.
Only two fields per load. Who you're billing, and the load number. Everything else is folded under "Times, rate and the rest" — open it only if you need it.
Broker memory (Pro). Type a broker you've billed before and TruckersClaims fills in their rate, free time and increments from last time. It'll tell you when it does.
"Where am I?" — in the folded section. One tap names the dock you're parked at and fills the facility in. It's the only typed thing that ever leaves your phone: your coordinates go to OpenStreetMap to get a name back, nothing else, only when you tap it.
Auto-detect (Pro). Flip the switch and TruckersClaims watches your GPS. Sit 15 minutes and it asks "is this a dock?" — it never starts the clock on its own. Say "not a dock" and it remembers that spot and won't ask there again. At a dock you've billed before, it recognizes it and asks after 5 minutes.
The chaser (Pro). Any claim a broker hasn't paid after 30 days shows up in a list with the follow-up email already written. One tap sends it. (30 days because that's the norm — chasing sooner gets a carrier a reputation.)
Free: 3 full claims a month, no card. GPS check-in and check-out, the live counter, broker notices, saved claims and paid tracking.
Pro ($29/month per truck) — everything the tool can do: unlimited claims, the chasing (every claim unpaid at 30 days listed with the follow-up written), broker memory that fills in each broker's rate and free time, and a dashboard showing your docks ranked by wasted hours and which brokers actually pay you and how fast.
More than one truck? Same plan — pick the truck count at checkout, $29 each, one bill for the whole fleet. Paid by card through Stripe’s secure page — cancel any time.
If you tapped in and out with GPS on, your claim says GPS-VERIFIED and carries the coordinates. If you typed the times yourself, it says DRIVER-REPORTED and says so plainly.
That's on purpose. TruckersClaims won't vouch for times it didn't witness — which is exactly what makes a GPS-stamped claim hard for a broker to argue with.
Forgot to tap on arrival? Open "Times, rate and the rest" and enter them yourself. Hand-typed times still make a valid claim.
GPS not working? Your phone will ask permission the first time — say allow. Denied it? The claim still works, just without coordinates.
Closed the app mid-wait? No problem. Your check-in is saved. Open it back up and the clock's still running.
Auto-detect asking at the wrong spots? Tap "Not a dock" and it won't ask you there again. It only asks after 15 minutes sitting, so red lights and fuel stops don't trigger it.
Auto-detect stopped working? A website can only watch GPS while it's open on your screen. Leave TruckersClaims up while you're sitting, or just tap the big button.
New phone? Your claims live on the old one. Go to your account, tap Download a backup first — otherwise it's gone.
Broker won't pay? No tool can force them. But a claim with stamped times and the rate con behind it gets paid far more often than "trust me, I waited."
