I built a detention-pay calculator for truckers in a day — unglamourous niches beat another AI wrapper
A developer created a free detention-pay calculator for truck drivers to help them claim owed payments. The tool simplifies the calculation process and generates a PDF for disputes, addressing a common issue in the trucking industry. This project highlights the potential of building useful tools in niche markets that may be overlooked by others.

- ▪The calculator is a single HTML file that works on mobile devices without requiring a login.
- ▪The tool generates a PDF that drivers can email to brokers, making it easier to claim owed payments.
