GateClock

Logistics / motor-carrier revenue recovery

Audience

Fleet owners running 5–50 dry van or reefer trucks on spot-market rate confirmations

Problem

Drivers get detained at 39.3% of stops (ATRI 2024), 94.5% of fleets bill detention — and fewer than half of those invoices are paid. Claims die on paperwork and clocks: missing timestamped evidence, blown 24–72-hour claim windows, no written real-time notice, and nobody in a small fleet whose job is the fourth follow-up. A 30-truck fleet forfeits an estimated $112K–$236K a year (vendor analysis on ATRI data).

Offer

GateClock is a done-for-you recovery desk: drivers text the 4-photo evidence set they already take, dispatch forwards the rate con, and GateClock parses the terms, sends written notice before the truck leaves, files a complete claim packet inside the claim window, runs the day 7/14/21/30 collection cadence, and remits per your factoring NOA — for 25% of collected dollars (pilot 20%). No recovery = no fee.

    "body": "Free time, rate, notice rule, claim window, and submission channel extracted and registered the moment dispatch forwards it. Loads with no detention clause are flagged before the truck rolls.",

  {
    "body": "The driver texts the 4-photo evidence set — gate check-in, dock assignment, BOL/POD with times, departure — to a dedicated number; ELD timestamps back it up.",

Evidence status

Identity · owner-action

Legal entity, registered address, and jurisdiction are not yet declared.

Market pain · verified

$3.6B direct carrier expense + $11.5B lost productivity from uncompensated detention (2023); detention at 39.3% of stops (56.2% reefer).

Collection gap · verified

94.5% of fleets charge detention fees; fewer than 50% of detention invoices are paid.

Contract norms · verified

Typical terms: 2h free time; $25–$75/hr detention; claims due 24–72h with written notice and evidence.

Fleet-level leakage · inferred

A 30-truck fleet forfeits ~$112K–$236K/yr in owed accessorials (≈$3.7K–$7.9K/truck).

Pricing hypothesis · owner-action

Small fleets will sign a 25% contingency; compliant packets lift collection to ≥70%.

Licensing · owner-action

Pre-default billing-agent posture; licensed partner for delinquencies; state matrix (WA RCW 19.16, NV NRS 649 reach commercial collections).

Competitive whitespace · inferred

No discovered competitor combines real-time capture + DFY filing + collection cadence + contingency pricing for small fleets.
