Trucker HelperLess tab-switching for drayage dispatch.
Trucker Helper is a Chrome extension that checks container status at the San Pedro Bay terminals and sends demurrage, detention and on-hire inquiries to carriers for you, from one place in your browser.
Beta: every new install gets 30 days of membership free. No card needed to start.
What it does
Built with a working dispatch team in Los Angeles, for the checks they repeat dozens of times a day.
Container status checks
Paste container numbers and get availability, holds, last free day, yard position and appointment time. Results can be written back to your pickup sheet.

Demurrage & detention inquiries
Look up the bill of lading and carrier for each container and send the right inquiry by Gmail or the carrier's own portal, with duplicate protection so nothing goes out twice.
Carrier lookups
Matson and OOCL status and last free day checks, alongside the terminal results.
Your sheet, or ours
Work from your existing pickup spreadsheet, paste a sheet into the extension, or push container data from your own system through a simple API.
Your passwords stay on your computer
Terminal and carrier logins you save are kept only in the extension on that computer and are typed only into that site's own sign-in page. They are never sent to us.

The extension's interface is available in three languages.

Questions
Do I need accounts at the terminals?
For most terminals, yes: Trucker Helper signs in with the account you already use on that terminal's website. LBCT is checked through its public cargo search and needs no account. You can also take status from Dray Dog if your team uses it.
Can I move my membership to a new computer?
Yes. The membership page shows a transfer code. Enter it in the extension on the new computer (or after reinstalling) and the membership moves there; the old computer stops having it.
How do I cancel?
From the membership page in the extension, choose "Manage subscription" to open Stripe's billing portal, where you can cancel, switch between monthly and yearly, or update your card.
Is Trucker Helper affiliated with the terminals or carriers?
No. Terminal and carrier names are used only to say which websites the extension works with. Trucker Helper is an independent tool and is not endorsed by any of them.
