Not selling anything. Genuinely trying to figure out if something is worth building.

I’ve been reading ATRI’s detention report and the numbers are wild…$15B/year industry-wide, average driver losing $11K–$19K/year, 94% of fleets charge detention but fewer than half actually collect. Seems like solo O/Os have it worse?

Curious what your actual experience is:

1.  How often do you even bother filing for detention? (Every time, sometimes, never?)

2.  When you do file, what % of the time does the broker actually pay?

3.  What kills most of your claims…bad documentation, broker pushback, or just not having time to chase it?

4.  If someone handled the whole thing for you, like filed the claim, fought the broker, collected the money, and took a cut only if they recovered (you pay nothing if nothing comes back), would you actually use that? Or is it not worth the hassle of dealing with another middleman?

Looking for honest “here’s why that would or wouldn’t work for me.”

Appreciate any thoughts. Will share what I learn back to the sub if there’s interest.
