Drayage Detention
Drayage detention planning for receiver delays, live unload timing, appointment changes, and waiting time. Detention exposure can change when equipment remains out during receiver delay, live unload, a missed appointment, or an unclear empty return.
Appointment and time records
Send pickup time, receiver appointment, unload method and duration, equipment provider, and empty-return instructions.
Evidence of receiver time
Keep the appointment, driver arrival, check-in, release, departure, unload duration, and receiver communications.
Receiver detention versus facility demurrage
Detention generally concerns time or equipment held during the trucking move. The confirmed quote terms and actual timestamps control whether it applies.
How detention is determined
Detention is determined from the accepted terms, arrival and release times, receiver activity, driver records, and equipment use.
Receiver timing and detention records
Keep the appointment, arrival and departure times, unload duration, and receiver communications together.
