How to Reconcile Truck Driver Trip Logs with ADD Timecards
In commercial freight operations, payroll discrepancies between actual road trip time and ADD clocked hours cost drivers thousands of dollars each year. Drivers frequently incur uncompensated dock wait time (demurrage and detention), terminal queueing, scale re-weigh delays, and mandatory truck washes that fail to translate into standard ADD timecards or legacy dispatch software such as TMW Systems and CTS.
Bill of Lading & TMW Verification
Keep Bill of Lading (BOL) numbers and internal TR # dispatch trip numbers strictly aligned with pick and delivery locations for immediate auditing by dispatch clerks.
Two-Period Payroll Cycles
Motor carriers run bi-weekly or semi-monthly payroll cycles (1st to 15th, and 16th to end of month). Separating logs into two clean pages doubles handwriting space on paper printouts.
Detention Rate Recovery
Automatically calculate billable detention dollars when waiting times exceed the standard 2-hour free time window, giving drivers incontrovertible documentation to contest payroll shortages.
