What dwell time data format do you need?

We accept standard geofence event payloads: facility entry timestamp, exit timestamp, GPS coordinates, and vehicle/driver identifiers. Most ELD platforms can export this via API or webhook.

Does this require any driver interaction?

None. Bastion works entirely from the geofence and timestamp data your devices already capture. Drivers do not need to log anything, take photos, or change their behavior.

How accurate is GPS-based detention detection?

Extremely. GPS timestamps from ELD devices are considered strong evidence for detention claims. Combined with rate confirmation terms, we can identify recoverable detention with high confidence.

Can carriers opt in or out?

Yes. You can offer detention recovery as an opt-in feature within your platform, giving carriers control over which loads are analyzed.

Detention Recovery for ELD & Telematics Providers

You already track detention dwell time. We monetize it for your customers.

The Problem We Solve Together

Your devices already know exactly when a truck arrives at a facility and when it departs. That dwell time data is the single strongest piece of evidence for detention claims — and right now it is going unused.

Carriers see detention as a cost of doing business because filing claims manually is too slow and uncertain. Your telematics data eliminates the uncertainty entirely.

Bastion uses your geofence and timestamp data to automatically build detention claims with GPS-verified evidence. No manual input from drivers. No new hardware. Just recovered revenue from data you already collect.

How ELD / Telematics Integration Works

ELD / TelematicsDwell time + geofence events

Bastion APIDetention Recovery Engine

CarrierRecovered Revenue

Three Simple Steps

Stream Dwell Events

Push geofence entry/exit events and dwell time data via API or webhook. Standard ELD event formats supported.

GPS-Verified Claims

Bastion matches dwell events against rate confirmation detention terms and builds evidence packets with GPS proof.

Carriers Earn More

Recovered detention pay goes to carriers. Your platform earns a revenue share and carriers see direct ROI from your hardware.

Why Partner with Bastion

Monetize Existing Data

Dwell time data is the strongest evidence for detention claims. Turn it into a revenue stream without building a recovery system.

Hardware ROI for Carriers

Carriers who recover detention pay see concrete dollar returns from your ELD/telematics investment — increasing device stickiness.

GPS-Grade Evidence

Your geofence data provides irrefutable proof of detention. Claims backed by GPS evidence have significantly higher recovery rates.

Competitive Moat

No other ELD provider offers integrated detention recovery. This is a first-mover opportunity in the telematics space.

Built for platforms like Motive, Samsara, Geotab, Omnitracs
