📖 Phase 1: Detention, Delays & Accessorial Lexicon
6 Spoken Concept Decks

Click on the speaker icons to listen and practice essential English for free time, detention rates, timestamps, TONU, and layover pay:

Free Time Window (2 Hours Standard) /friː taɪm ˈwɪn.doʊ/
The industry-standard 2 hours of loading/unloading time included in the freight rate before detention charges begin accruing.
"Our appointment was at 08:00 AM; our two hours of standard free time expire promptly at 10:00 AM."
"Always arrive on time for your delivery window so your free time begins counting immediately."
Detention Pay Rate ($50 – $100 / Hour) /dɪˈtɛn.ʃən peɪ reɪt/
Contractual hourly compensation paid to carriers for every hour (or fraction) spent waiting at a facility beyond free time.
"The carrier contract specifies detention pay at seventy-five dollars per hour billed in 15-minute increments."
"We spent four hours at the dock, so we billed the broker two hours of approved detention pay."
In-Gate & Out-Gate Timestamp Audits /ɪn geɪt • aʊt geɪt ˈtaɪm.stæmps/
Mandatory written or mechanical time clock stamps on the Bill of Lading recording exact arrival and departure times.
"Guard shack stamped our in-gate time as 07:45 AM and dock clerk stamped out-time as 01:15 PM."
"Brokers will automatically reject detention claims without verified in and out timestamps on the signed BOL."
Rolling Detention Alerts & Broker Notice /ˈroʊ.lɪŋ dɪˈtɛn.ʃən əˈlɝːts/
Advance notices sent to freight brokers at 1 hour and 30 minutes before free time expires to validate dwell time.
"Driver sent a 1-hour rolling detention alert email to the broker when the warehouse failed to assign a dock."
"Broker acknowledged the rolling detention alert and escalated with facility receiving management."
TONU (Truck Ordered, Not Used) /ˈtoʊ.nuː • trʌk ˈɔːr.dɚd nɑːt juːzd/
A fixed cancellation fee ($150–$300) paid when a shipper or broker cancels a dispatched load after the truck has arrived.
"The shipper ran out of product; because I checked in at the guard gate, broker issued a $250 TONU fee."
"Request a written cancellation gate pass to prove TONU arrival before leaving the shipper's yard."
Layover Pay & Overnight Dwell Compensation /ˈleɪ.oʊ.vɚ peɪ/
A flat daily rate ($250–$400) paid to drivers detained overnight when a facility delays loading until the following day.
"The production line broke down, forcing an overnight layover; broker revised rate con with $350 layover pay."
"Layover pay compensates the carrier for lost revenue and spent Hours of Service driving clock time."
🔍 Phase 2: The Interactive Detention & Delay Simulator
⏱️ 3 Real Delay Scenarios

⏱️ 1. 4-Hour Live Unload Detention Claim

Grocery DC Dock 14 • In: 08:00 AM • Out: 12:30 PM • 2.5 Hrs Detention @ $75/hr = $187.50

🎙️ Phase 3: Freight Broker & Commercial Driver Spoken Dialogue Trainer
Spoken Accessorial Roleplay Frames

Practice communicating rolling detention alerts, TONU claims, and weather delays with brokers in English:

1. 1-Hour Rolling Detention Alert to Broker

"Broker Dan, this is Driver Alex on Load 8924. I have been backed into Dock 14 since 08:00 AM. My two-hour free time window expires in sixty minutes at 10:00 AM."

Broker: "Thank you for the early rolling alert, Alex. I am contacting warehouse receiving now to push their forklift crew."
2. Free Time Expiration & Detention Notice

"Broker, it is now 10:05 AM and the trailer is still being unloaded. Official detention starts now at our agreed rate of seventy-five dollars per hour."

Broker: "Understood, driver. Please ensure your in and out timestamps are clearly stamped and signed on the Bill of Lading upon departure."
3. Requesting Out-Gate Timestamp on BOL

"Receiving clerk, unloading finished at twelve-thirty. Please stamp and sign both my in-time of 08:00 AM and out-time of 12:30 PM on this Bill of Lading."

Clerk: "Here is your stamped BOL with 08:00 AM In and 12:30 PM Out, signed and initialed. Gate pass is enclosed."
4. Claiming TONU (Truck Ordered, Not Used)

"Dispatcher, I arrived at the shipper at 08:45 AM for my 09:00 AM pickup. The shipper stated the load was cancelled. I have the signed guard gate cancellation slip for our $250 TONU."

Dispatcher: "Emailing the cancellation slip to the freight broker right now to bill the two-hundred-and-fifty dollar TONU fee."
5. En-Route Weather & Highway Closure Notice

"Broker, due to a severe blizzard closing Interstate 80 over Elk Mountain, highway patrol has shut down the pass. My revised ETA is delayed by four hours."

Broker: "Thank you for the early weather update, driver. Stay safe in the truck stop. I have updated the receiver to reschedule your delivery window without late fees."
⚠️ Phase 4: Detention & Delay Dilemmas & Site Decisions
4 Real Delay Dilemmas
1. Receiver Refuses to Stamp Departure Time on BOL

After waiting 5 hours, the receiving clerk stamps the BOL but refuses to write the departure time, stating 'Company policy forbids writing timestamps'. What is your immediate action?

2. Broker Claims Driver Was 10 Minutes Late Voiding Detention

Broker refuses to pay 3 hours of detention, alleging you arrived at 08:10 AM for an 08:00 AM appointment. However, you were in the guard gate queue at 07:50 AM. How do you prove it?

3. Warehouse Takes 14 Hours Running Out Driver's HOS Clock

Warehouse takes 12 hours to load your trailer. Your 14-hour daily duty clock has run out, and guard security orders you to leave the property immediately. What federal law protects you?

4. Shipper Delays Loading Overnight Requiring Layover Pay

At 7:00 PM, shipper informs you that the morning product won't be packaged until 8:00 AM tomorrow. What accessorial compensation must you request from your broker?
