Detention fees can become a frustrating part of the shipping process. Anytime a shipper or receiver is hit with additional charges, they can prove to be not only frustrating but sometimes confusing. Detention fees will stack up when freight gets mishandled during a pickup or delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A detention fee is assessed when a load is held at the pickup or delivery location longer than the allotted \"free time\". Rates of detention typically range from $80 to $100 per hour after the allowable 2 hours of load time is exceeded. If the time to load or unload takes too long, the driver will often leave and reschedule.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we take a deep dive into detention fees including what they are, how they\u2019re calculated and potential ways to avoid them.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t

What is a Detention Fee?<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
$\"A$ <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
A detention fee is a charge that\u2019s assessed when load\/unload time exceeds an allowable limit as defined in a shipping agreement. For most shipping agreements, two hours is the allowable \u201cfree time\u201d given before detention fees begin to accrue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For drayage shipments, the time before detention kicks in is often reduced to one hour instead of two. Drayage moves typically take less time<\/a> due to the relative ease of offloading a container. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In domestic truckload, a driver gets paid on the distance freight moves. Drivers are generally paid on mileage When drivers are held up for an excessive amount of time at a pickup or delivery, they\u2019re not able to be on the road making money. Detention fees are in place to compensate drivers for this lost time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Noticeable Changes in The Industry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Changes in the industry are constantly a hot button issue, even in 2022. There are numerous ways the industry has been adapting to change. Also, the effect of the global pandemic hasn\u2019t exactly helped the situation of change within the industry either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether it is a change in transportation laws, industry standards, or the inflation of detention prices, changes in the industry are always happening. For example, \u201cthe increased cost of detention has climbed to 25-30% over the past two years,\u201d said Ian Morphy, Vice President at R+L Global Logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
What is Free Time?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The amount of time available to use a carrier's trucks or equipment without the penalty of an accessorial fee is considered free time. This grace period is known as free time and is the window of time to complete your shipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFree time is the window of time in which freight is to become loaded or unloaded. Typically, the loading or unloading of freight is around two hours,\u201d said Ian Morphy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
During free time, no additional charges related to your shipment are accrued. Whether your cargo is regionally or internationally shipped, imported, or exported, constant communication, preparedness, and shipment execution are required to avoid detention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Can Lead to a Detention Fee?<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
$\"A$ <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
Several circumstances can lead to a fee when shipping goods. Generally speaking, a detention charge occurs when the wheels of a truck are not moving, and the driver or carrier needs to be compensated for their time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the loading or unloading of freight is unorganized, it becomes inefficient. In some instances, a driver will not wait for late or unprepared shipments to be loaded. Instead, they will pull away from the loading dock and continue their route to another pickup destination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main culprit is staffing issues at the loading or unloading area. After a dry run fee is established<\/a> for the missed pick-up, the driver or carrier will then reschedule the load for a second attempt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How are Detention Charges Calculated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGenerally speaking, the charge for detention is between $80 and $100 dollars per hour. The detention rate has gone up over the past two years, increasing the cost per hour to $150 dollars per hour in some cases,\u201d said Morphy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Detention Fee Calculations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Shipment Type<\/strong><\/td> Load\/Unload Time<\/strong><\/td> Detention Fee Per Hour<\/strong><\/td> Total Detention Charge<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Truck A - Load Pickup<\/td> One Hour<\/td> $100<\/td> $0.00<\/td><\/tr>
Truck A - Load Delivery<\/td> Two Hours<\/td> $100<\/td> $0.00<\/td><\/tr>
Truck B - Load Pickup<\/td> Six Hours<\/td> $150<\/td> $600.00<\/td><\/tr>
Truck B - Load Delivery<\/td> Two Hours<\/td> $150<\/td> $150.00<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Truck A could load its pickup in under two hours in this example. Then Truck A got its delivery unloaded in under two hours as well. Since Truck A was on time in all respects, it accrued no additional fees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, in the case of Truck B, the outcome was not the same. This truck had a challenging time getting loaded. Regardless of what caused this huge delay, four additional hours were spent loading the freight. The offloading of the cargo was completed much faster. However, the damage was done at seven hundred and fifty extra dollars in detention charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
What Challenges are Faced When it Comes to Detention Fees?<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
$\"A$ <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
Some of the biggest challenges shippers face today can be seen in many ways. Many scenarios can complicate the effectiveness of a shipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In trucking, one of the biggest hurdles is the lack of understanding behind what these charges are and how they\u2019re calculated? Therefore, it\u2019s essential to take great care and sometimes think outside the box to analyze and evaluate all situations when considering the shipment of a domestic load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
How is their cargo shipped and received?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
What are the shipping hours of the shipper?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
What kind of flexibility does the shipper have?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Often a detention fee resulting from this occurrence is seen as a penalty. When in fact, it is put into place to compensate the driver or carrier, preventing them from simply pulling away from the loading or unloading site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNobody wants to charge these fees, and they don\u2019t generate much revenue for the driver or carrier. These fees only slightly mitigate any lost expense for the driver or carrier. It\u2019s about efficiency, and more efficient shippers will spend less,\u201d said Morphy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most desired situation is one in which the driver gets in and out of their pick up or drop off within the allotted free time. When the truck can get in and out of the load or unloading scenario, that increases the capacity of the shipper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
What Is The Difference Between Import and Export Detention Fees?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The general idea of how a detention fee can occur for imports and exports remains the same. In the case of imported freight, a driver must wait for a container to be unloaded before returning it to the port. In exported freight, drivers must wait until a container is loaded before dropping it off at the terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The International Federation of Freight Forwarders Association (FIATA) has created a detailed analysis regarding detention and demurrage<\/a> charges. The carriers ultimately decide how, why, and how much a detention fee will originate and cost. Other accessorial fees can mount<\/a> during shipping, and it is imperative to carefully monitor and utilize trusted third-party logistics (3PL) when shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Examples of how detention charges occur in imports and exports are outlined below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Imports<\/strong>\n\n
Goods cannot be delivered or unloaded because of a breakdown in communication or the late arrival of the receiver.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
A driver runs out of legal travel hours to return a container because of a slow or missed unload.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
Exports<\/strong>\n\n
If a Verified Gross Mass document does not accompany the shipment, then it cannot be unloaded at an ocean port for export.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The International Maritime Organization<\/a> (IMO) governs the strict guidelines associated with exported goods aboard containers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The shipper assumes responsibility for both the arrival time and the available road hours a driver has, including verifying the weight of goods inside the container. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suppose this data is not provided or is inaccurate due to a breakdown in communication that will result in detention. It\u2019s imperative that compliance with the driver's time and any verified documentation due at the time of export is recognized and submitted to avoid an accessorial fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are Demurrage Fees?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
After the last free day has expired at an ocean port, a daily storage fee known as demurrage is added. If the equipment fails to return, this fee can also apply to a chassis<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luckily, there are options to get your cargo out of the port and stored elsewhere until suitable trucking can be arranged to ship your load. There are several strategies to avoid demurrage charges<\/a> as they can and will add up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A trusted intermodal drayage carrier<\/a> can offer drayage services to negate any demurrage fees. Also, a carrier will help avoid any potential detention charges that might follow with proper management and communication with the shipper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Can You Avoid Detention Fees?<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
$\"A$ <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
The best way to avoid any additional charges is careful planning and execution, especially regarding detention. The shipper and receiver must prepare and set the correct expectation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When moving freight, you need to understand what the shipper needs, including shipment details. Some things to consider to ensure a smooth transaction are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Shipping Flexibility:<\/strong> Having good flexibility will significantly improve driver capacity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
\n
Drop Trailers:<\/strong> When a carrier leaves the trailer with the shipper or receiver to load or unload at their convenience.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
\n
Drop and Hook:<\/strong> When a carrier drops off a full load at a site, then is connected to a preloaded trailer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
\n
Regional Focus:<\/strong> With a better regional focus, operating costs and regional contracts help to prevent overextending.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
\n
Recurring Lanes:<\/strong> These are lanes that are covered by a carrier regularly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Ultimately, the best preventive measure a shipper can take is open communication with the driver or carrier and to prepare their load for the truck's arrival. The use of modern technology can help minimize the risk of detention or any other accessorial charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
How Can a Trusted 3PL Help You?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A trusted 3PL can mitigate several additional costs when shipping primarily due to its ability to navigate any issues that may arise from shipping freight. They are also equipped with the latest tools and staffing options available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, just like the saying goes, \u201cIt takes two to tango,\u201d shippers and receivers also need to maintain efficiency and make loading and unloading a top priority. Detention fees are not personal; it's business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
