For owner-operators & dispatchers

You waited 6 hours.
Get paid for 4 of them.

Hauliner turns your wait time into a broker-ready detention invoice in 30 seconds — backed by GPS proof a broker can't argue with.

The average owner-operator leaves $2,000–$6,000 a year on the dock in detention they never collect. Usually for one reason: they can't prove it.

The real problem

It's not that you're not owed it. It's that you can't prove it.

Detention pay exists. The rate's in your rate con. But when you finally invoice for it, the broker pushes back — and most drivers don't have what it takes to win that argument.

"I'll bill it later." Later never comes. The load's delivered, you're on the next one, the detention's gone.
Math on a napkin. Wrong free-time window, wrong rate, and the broker shaves it down or denies it.
"Where's your proof?" The dock wouldn't sign your times — so it's your word against theirs, and you lose.

left uncollected per truck, per year — even at a realistic 50% approval rate.

Most owner-operators hit detention 2–4 times a month. At $75/hr after 2 free hours, that adds up fast — and almost none of it gets billed properly. Hauliner exists to recover it.
How it works

Three taps from dock to invoice

No spreadsheets, no math, no chasing the dock for a signature. Tap when you arrive, tap when you leave, send the invoice.

01

Tap "Arrived"

When you check in, hit one button. Hauliner pulls the exact arrival time straight from your ELD geofence — no typing, no guessing.

02

Tap "Departed"

Loaded and rolling? Tap again. It calculates billable detention against your free-time window and rate from the rate con automatically.

⬡ Detention · auto-calc
03

Send the invoice

Out comes a clean PDF with your MC#, the breakdown, and a GPS proof block. Copy the broker email, attach, send. Done.

⬡ Broker-ready PDF
The part brokers can't argue with

GPS proof, attached to every invoice.

Anyone can write a number on an invoice. Hauliner attaches the telemetry behind it — the same GPS data your ELD already records. When the proof is machine-generated, "where's your documentation?" stops being a question.

Times you can't fake. Pulled from Samsara / Motive geofence events, not typed in after the fact.
Entry, exit, dwell, coordinates. Every data point a broker's AP team needs to approve without a back-and-forth.
A source log ID. Verifiable telematics reference, right on the document.

Questions

The stuff drivers actually ask

Will the broker actually accept GPS times? +

GPS proof doesn't force a broker to pay — nothing does, since detention isn't federally mandated. What it does is remove their easiest reason to deny: "no documentation." Poor documentation is the #1 reason valid detention claims get rejected. Hand them entry/exit times from your ELD with a log ID, and you've taken that excuse off the table.

Does this work with my ELD? +

Hauliner connects to Samsara and Motive to pull geofence entry and exit events. If your ELD isn't supported yet, you can still enter times manually and generate the same broker-ready invoice — you just won't get the auto-pulled GPS block.

Are you collecting the money for me? +

No — and that's deliberate. Hauliner is a documentation and invoicing tool, not a collection agency. It builds the factual billing record and the proof; you stay in control of the relationship with your broker. That keeps it simple, fast, and on the right side of the line.

What besides detention can I bill? +

Detention is the big one, but the same flow handles TONU (truck-ordered-not-used), layover, and lumper reimbursement — each with its own calculation logic, not just a generic line item.

I'm not techy. Is it complicated? +

If you can use a phone, you can use this. Two taps at the dock and a send button. It was built by a working freight dispatcher who got tired of watching drivers eat detention they were owed.
