How you start
- Answer three quick questions.
- Matt writes back with a sign-up link. You confirm your email with a code.
- Forward your next per diem bill.
Thu Oct 1 · 8:16 AM
Pay on time. Dispute the rest.
Pay $1,200 by Oct 30.
Dispute $750 by Oct 30.
You forward the line's per diem bill. Minutes later you know what to pay, what to dispute, and by when. Pay the undisputed part on time, and dispute the rest in writing before the deadline. Under the UIIA, a bill left unpaid and not disputed can get your interchange suspended.
Mon Aug 24 · 6:44 AM
No clock. No address bar. The line tosses it.
From Aug 24
A month later.
The bill shows up a month after the box went back. By then your proof from that day is gone, or the screenshot is missing the clock or the address bar. And you get 30 days to dispute.

Example bill · one box · Aug 21 to 28
One box. $1,950. $750 you can fight.
Eight days past free time. Three of those days, no empty return appointments. That's $750 you can fight. If you can prove it.
$200 x 3 · $250 x 3 · $300 x 2
With DDClear, you can.
Here's how the proof gets there.
Mon Aug 24 · 6:41 to 6:51 AM
About 10 minutes. Done before 9.
Bayside notice
Northstar row, 40' HC, both shifts
- Clock
- Address bar
- Your row
- Both shifts
Done before 9.
Each working morning, our Chrome extension walks you or your dispatcher through each terminal page. Click Capture. On the spot, it confirms each shot has what the line needs: the clock, the address bar, your row, both shifts.
You log in the way you always do. DDClear never sees or keeps a password. Matt sets up the extension with you, once.
Aug 24, 25 and 26 · on file
Every screenshot, saved just as it was taken.
So when the bill shows up a month later, the proof from those three mornings is already there.

Dispute written. Proof attached. You hit send.

Who you'll hear from
Hi, I'm Matt.
Matt Rusin· Founder, DDClear
I built DDClear in Texas, and it's in its pilot now. I'm looking for the first carriers to run it. Everything you send from this page comes to me, and I answer it myself. If DDClear isn't a fit for your company, I'll tell you. Tell me if this is a real problem for you.
Straight answers.
Will disputing get me shut out?
Under the UIIA, a line can suspend your interchange over a bill that's unpaid and not disputed. So every DDClear verdict starts with what to pay and what to dispute, and by when: on the example bill, pay $1,200 by Oct 30 and dispute $750 by Oct 30. The FMC calls retaliation against a motor carrier for questioning a line's invoices a serious violation of the law.
We already take screenshots. Why this?
The big lines' rules ask for the whole computer screen, with the address bar and the site's own time stamp, and some want the computer's clock too. DDClear's extension checks each shot on the spot for what the line needs, the morning you take it, and saves it just as it was taken. Phone photos and cropped screenshots don't count.
I bill per diem back to my customer. Why bother?
You still front the money, and your customer still asks for the backup. With DDClear the backup is already on file and the dispute is written before you bill anything back.
Can it read my bills right?
Every disputed dollar comes with the reason, in plain words. You read all of it before anything goes out.
What if the line says no?
The line decides, and nobody can promise what it will do. What DDClear does: writes the dispute, attaches the screenshots from those mornings, and reminds you before the deadlines it can confirm.
Does the federal rule cover every bill?
No. It covers the lines' container bills, not chassis bills. Whether it reaches merchant-haulage interchange invoices has not been decided by the FMC. The UIIA's dispute rules apply either way.
Which lines does it know?
DDClear holds the published dispute rules for 14 ocean lines and 6 chassis providers: what to attach, when to capture it, and where to send it.
I drive and dispatch myself. Is this for me?
The morning capture needs someone at a computer for about ten minutes, done before nine, on working mornings. That can be you or a dispatcher. Forwarding the bill works from your phone.
I already paid the bill. Can it help?
It works best on the bills still on your desk.
Do I have to change my dispatch software?
No. Keep your dispatch software. DDClear works from your email and a Chrome extension.
What does it cost?
Nothing during the pilot. After it, one flat monthly price per company, and carriers from the pilot keep the founding price.
Per diem bill? DDClear it.
