Freight AR follow-up · Detention recovery

Get paid what your freight customers still owe you.

Reclera calls and texts your slow-paying brokers and shippers — in your company's name — until the invoice gets scheduled. For detention and short-pays, we draft the formal demand letter and you approve it before anything is sent.

Why this leaks

Drivers get detained on roughly 4 out of 10 stops — and while almost every fleet charges detention, fewer than half of those invoices ever get paid. The industry loses over $15B a year to it.

Source: ATRI, 2024.

Nobody in a small operation has time to call a broker's AP desk four times about a $225 detention line. So it quietly gets written off. That's the gap we work.

What we chase

The receivables nobody has time to call about.

Slow-paying invoices

Calls and texts, in your name.

Your AR aging sits there because calling is nobody's job. Reclera works the list: it calls the broker's AP desk, texts the contact, logs what they said, and calls again on the date they promised.

  • Automated voice calls placed as your company
  • Text follow-ups between calls
  • Every promise-to-pay date tracked and re-chased
Detention & short-pays

Formal demand letters you approve.

Detention past the free window, TONU, layover, lumper reimbursement, accessorials that got trimmed off the check. We draft the letter against your rate con and BOL — you read it and approve before it's sent.

  • Detention after the free window
  • Short-paid accessorials and TONU
  • Nothing goes out without your approval
How it works

You send what you already have. We do the chasing.

  1. STEP 01

    Send us your unpaid invoices

    Your oldest open invoices, plus any detention you never billed or got short-paid on. Email, PDF, or an export from your TMS — whatever you already have.

  2. STEP 02

    We work the list

    Calls and texts go out in your company's name to the right AP contact, on a schedule, with every answer logged. Detention and short-pays get a drafted demand letter for your approval.

  3. STEP 03

    The money goes to you

    Your customer pays you directly on your existing payment rails. We never take custody of funds. On the flat plan there's no percentage at all.

Think of it as an AR back-office employee that never forgets to follow up.

Works alongside factoring

We don't buy your invoices. We chase what factoring leaves behind.

Keep your factor. Factoring advances the linehaul — it doesn't sit on the phone about detention, accessorials, short-pays, or the receivables you never factored. That's exactly what we work.

  • Detention & accessorials

    The lines factoring doesn't advance and nobody calls about.

  • Short-pays

    The check came in light. We draft the letter that asks for the rest.

  • Unfactored receivables

    Direct customers and older invoices still sitting in your aging.

  • No custody of funds

    Payments go straight to you. We never touch your money.

Who it's for

Built for the small end of trucking.

Owner-operators & small fleets

Get the detention you've earned.

1–50 trucks. You already sat at the dock and logged the hours. We turn that into a billed, chased, followed-up demand — and you keep 100% on the flat plan.

Small brokerages

Work your aging without hiring for it.

If nobody on your team owns AR follow-up, it doesn't happen. Reclera calls your customers about open invoices in your company's name, every week, without being reminded.

Small 3PLs

Stop writing off accessorials.

Mixed broker and asset operations. We chase detention, accessorials, and short-pays across both sides without changing your TMS or your workflow.

Bookkeepers & dispatchers

Hand off the phone calls.

Refer your clients, keep the relationship. We do the calling and the letters; you stay the trusted advisor.

Free AR + detention leak review

Start with a look at what's still collectible.

Tell us what's open. We'll review your aging and any unpaid detention, show you what we'd chase and how we'd chase it, and you decide whether to run the one-week pilot. No cost, no card, no commitment.

  • Calls and letters go out in your company's name.
  • You approve every demand letter before it's sent.
  • Payments go straight to you — we never touch your money.
  • We don't buy invoices. Keep your factor.

Payments always go straight to you — we never take custody of your money.

Straight answers

What you're probably wondering.

Is this a scam?

Fair question. There's no upfront cost on the pilot, you sign nothing binding, and we never take custody of your money — your customer pays you directly on your existing payment rails. We won't quote you results from other customers, because we're not going to make numbers up. The industry numbers on this page are ATRI's, and the only number that matters to you is what we find in your own aging.

How does this work legally?

Calls and letters go out in your company's name, as your automated assistant — like an AI back-office employee. Payments always go directly to you on your existing payment rails; we never take custody of funds. Recovery calling is currently available to companies whose customers are in supported states, and we're expanding state by state.

I already factor my invoices.

Then keep factoring. We don't buy invoices and we don't replace your factor. Factoring advances the linehaul; it doesn't chase detention, accessorials, short-pays, or receivables you never factored. That's the part we work.

I don't have time for this.

That's the point. You forward your open invoices and detention paperwork, and the calling, texting, and follow-up happens without you. The only thing that needs your attention is approving a demand letter before it goes out.

Will my brokers or shippers be annoyed?

The calls are professional, short, and factual: which invoice, which load, what's owed, when can it be scheduled. Letters cite the rate confirmation and BOL. No hostility, no pressure tactics — just the paperwork, from your company.

What does it cost?

The pilot is $0 up front on five invoices with 20% of what's recovered. Starter is $99/mo flat with up to 50 invoices worked per month and no percentage at all — you keep 100%. Higher-volume plans add call capacity for a monthly fee plus 3% of recovered amounts.

Free leak review

Your aging isn't going to call itself.

Send us what's open. We'll show you what's still collectible and how we'd chase it. Then run the one-week pilot on five invoices if you want to see it work.
