chit in the field
chit for OTR trucking
Who carries it: Owner-operator / company driver
Detention pay dies without a timestamp. Your drivers already narrate it - capture it.
When to press it
- Check calls
- detention documentation at shipper/receiver
- lumper fees
- breakdowns
- DOT stops
What the end of the day gives back
Loads recapped, disputes documented, receipts-by-voice for IFTA and expenses.
What a team sees
Fleet view: sentiment on driver-broker calls; incident volume per lane; detention evidence speeds collections.
Teach it your job
“OTR owner-operator; log detention times, lumper fees, and who I talked to at the dock.”
A context like this — typed once into the app — is how chit stops being a generic recorder and starts being yours.
Where the data lives
Timestamped detention audio = paid accessorials; data in the fleet's VPC with driver privacy respected.
Recording laws differ by state, and several require every party's consent. chit only captures while the button is held — know your state's rule before recording another person.
