You waited 6 hours. They say it was 2. Who wins?
Without timestamped proof of when you arrived and when the receiver finally signed, detention claims are your word against theirs. And your word doesn’t pay for fuel.
The real cost
No proof of arrival time
You pulled in at 6 AM. They didn’t start unloading until noon. But your only evidence is a log entry they’ll dispute.
Denied claims
Without solid documentation, carriers and brokers deny detention claims routinely. It’s their default move.
Wasted leverage
You have the right to detention pay. But without proof, you have nothing to negotiate with. The shipper or receiver holds all the cards.
How BOLinkz proves detention
- 1
Arrival is GPS-stamped
When you arrive at the facility, your location and time are logged. This establishes your arrival for detention purposes.
- 2
Signature captures departure
When the receiver finally signs, the GPS and timestamp prove exactly when unloading was complete. The gap is your detention.

“I was at a Pilot just outside Kansas City, dumping my trash bag, and my bills went right in with it. I showed up at the receiver empty-handed and embarrassed. That day I said never again. That's why BOLinkz exists.”

Frequently asked questions
Will brokers accept GPS proof for detention?
GPS-verified timestamps are stronger evidence than handwritten notes. Most brokers and carriers will accept them — they have no good reason not to.
How do I prove my arrival time?
BOLinkz logs your GPS coordinates when you interact with the load. Combined with your ELD data, you have solid proof of arrival.
What if the facility disputes my times?
Your GPS data doesn’t lie. Coordinates + timestamps from an independent system are difficult to dispute in any professional setting.
Does this help with lumper receipt disputes too?
BOLinkz stores all load-related documents. Attach lumper receipts to the same load for a complete record.
