# What will AGI do for arguing detention fees with carriers who have better paperwork than you?

## Overview

Shippers and freight brokers routinely face detention invoices from carriers claiming excessive wait times at pickup or delivery facilities. Carriers back these claims with precise electronic logging device (ELD) data, GPS breadcrumbs, and timestamped geofence alerts. Meanwhile, facility operators and brokers rely on manual gate logs, paper bills of lading, and fragmented yard records. This creates a severe evidence asymmetry where the party paying the fee lacks the data to verify or dispute the charge.

This imbalance persists because the trucking industry operates under strict federal telematics mandates, while warehouse operations lack equivalent tracking requirements. When a carrier submits a detention claim, they possess an automated timeline of their truck's location. Shippers lack a synchronized, independent system to prove if a driver actually arrived late to an appointment or if the delay stemmed from the carrier's own equipment failure.

Processing these disputes consumes significant back-office resources. Claims teams spend hours cross-referencing emails, calling dock managers, and hunting down paper records to fight individual invoices. Because the cost of manual investigation often exceeds the fee itself, shippers and brokers frequently default to paying unsubstantiated claims, leaking margin on every major freight contract.
