Get paid for the wait. Know what you keep.
Clock your time at the dock. Text the broker before free time ends. Send the bill with one tap. And before you say yes to the next load, see what you really keep.
Three ways a good load turns into a bad day.
You work hard. The money should show it. But three leaks drain your pay every week, and most drivers never see them.
You sat at the dock. Nobody paid you.
Drivers wait about 14 hours a week at docks. Fewer than half of all detention bills ever get paid. No clock. No proof. No bill. So no money. The broker moves on. You eat the hours.
You said yes on the phone. The math came later.
The broker calls. You say yes in 30 seconds. The rate con lands in your email after that, and by then the load is yours. Fuel, tolls, and empty miles never got counted. It costs $2.34 a mile to run a truck today. The load looked fine. It was not.
You ran empty to get the load.
About 1 in 6 truck miles are empty miles. Empty miles burn the same fuel. They wear the same tires. They just do not pay. And they never make it into the math on the phone.

You say yes on the phone. The rate con comes later. The app is built for that.
Most drivers book off the board, agree the rate on a call, and get the rate con by email after. So each tool shows up at the moment you can still use it.
Check the load in ten seconds.
Type four numbers off the board. Rate, loaded miles, empty miles, your cost. Green or red before you pick up the phone. No paper needed.
Snap it. Read the fine print.
The app reads the terms, not just the rate. Detention pay and free hours. Truck ordered not used. Who pays the lumper. Late fees. Do the miles match the call. If something is off, you know before you roll.
Two taps. Both GPS stamped.
Tap when you arrive. The clock runs, even with no signal. Before free time ends, one tap texts the broker. On the record.
The bill is ready. You press send.
Times, GPS, notice time, total. One page. Text it, email it, or drop it in the broker portal. Nothing goes out without you.
Steps 3 and 4 put money in your pocket that stays at the dock today. Steps 1 and 2 keep a bad load from ever getting there.
One real load. $2,150 on the rate con. Here is what you keep.
Dallas to Atlanta. 781 loaded miles. 62 empty miles to get there. The load check does this math before you call. The dock clock adds the money at the end.
is the detention you were owed on this load. The app clocked it, texted the broker, and built the bill. Without it, that money stays at the dock.
leaves your pocket before you earn a dime on this load. Fuel, tolls, and the real cost of running your truck. Miss one of them on the phone and a good load turns bad.
Stop guessing at 5 am.
The way most drivers do it
- ✕ Dock time goes on a napkin, if at all.
- ✕ Detention gets asked for once, with no proof, and dropped.
- ✕ Rate divided by miles, on the phone. Sounds fine.
- ✕ Fuel gets guessed. Tolls and empty miles get forgotten.
- ✕ Truck payment and insurance never enter the math.
- ✕ The rate con gets a glance. The fine print gets missed.

What drivers say about the other apps. And what we did about it.
We went through the one star reviews on the big trucking apps. The same complaints came up again and again. Paid Per Load was built to fix every one of them.
Review themes drawn from public one star reviews on the App Store, Google Play, and Trustpilot for the major load board, tracking, and trucking business apps, read September 2026. Wording shortened. No app is named on purpose.

Founder deal for the first 500 drivers
Get on the list now and you lock the Driver plan at the Starter price. $9.99 a month for your first 12 months. Everyone on the list gets the first month free on any plan.
Pays for itself or it stays free
If Paid Per Load has not clocked a paid detention hour or flagged a losing load for you in your first 30 days, we keep your account free until it does. That is the deal.
Do the math right here.
This is the same math the app does. Type your numbers. See the truth. No signup needed.
What are you owed for the wait?
Most brokers pay $50 to $100 an hour after 2 free hours. Fewer than half of detention bills ever get paid. The ones with times, GPS, and a notice on record get paid most. That is what the app builds for you.
What does your truck cost per mile?
Most solo drivers land between $0.90 and $1.40. Type yours into the load check on the right.
Check a load before you call
Tolls not included. The app adds them from the route. Red means the load loses money once your truck cost is in. Say no before you say yes.
Questions drivers ask
Is this an insurance product?
No. Paid Per Load is a phone app built by Fast Trucking Insurance Quotes for owner-operators. Joining the list does not ask for a quote. Nobody will call you about insurance because you signed up.
Does the app send the bill to the broker for me?
No. The app builds the bill and opens your share sheet. You text it, email it, or attach it to the broker's form. You see every bill first. Nothing goes out without you.
Where does the detention rate come from?
If the rate con says the detention terms, the app reads them off the scan and uses those. If it does not, it uses the rate and free hours you set once in Setup. $75 an hour after 2 free hours is the suggested default. Most brokers pay $50 to $100 an hour.
Does it track me all day?
No. Location is used only while the app is open. Two points per stop, arrival and departure. No background tracking. It never reads ELD or hours of service data.
Do I need the rate con to check a load?
No. The load check takes four numbers off the board. Rate, loaded miles, empty miles, and your cost per mile. Ten seconds. You get green or red before you call the broker, while you can still say no.
I already took the load. What does the scan do for me?
It reads the paper you got. Detention pay and free hours. Truck ordered not used. Who pays the lumper. Late fees. Whether the miles match what the broker said on the phone. If something is off, you know before you roll. And the detention terms load into the dock clock so you type nothing at the dock.
What if I run out of load checks on the Starter plan?
You can move up to Driver any time in the app. Your ledger and history come with you. Or wait for next month. The dock clock and broker texts still work on every plan.
When does it launch and how do I pay?
We are building it now. The size of the waitlist decides how fast it ships. You pay through the App Store or Google Play. No contract. Cancel in two taps in Settings and you keep access through the month you paid for.
