Railcar Detention Management

Cut detention costs with live customer-site insights from TransmetriQ.

Take Control of Customer Dwell

Managing multiple contracts, free-day rules and terminals shouldn’t require a spreadsheet army. Detention from TransmetriQ surfaces everything you need at a glance:

  • Cars currently on a customer’s track
  • Days (and hours) each car has dwelled
  • Contract-specific free-day balance
  • Running detention cost per car
  • Total capacity tied up at each site

With one view, teams can prioritize unloads, release cars faster and keep cars moving.
