Meet Vally’s Afterhours Support
Hey there — my name is Valentin Lapp, and I’m the founder of Vally’s Afterhours Support.
I’ve been in the trucking industry for a long time, and one thing always stood out to me: the office
work is sorted by 5 PM, the problems aren’t. Trucks still roll. Brokers still call. Drivers still need
answers. Yet there was no true afterhours support out there for me or my colleagues.
That’s when I decided to do something about it.
On May 12, 2025, I started Vally’s Afterhours Support with one mission: give trucking companies peace
throughout the nights.
What began with me handling calls and helping drivers late into the night has grown into a full team of
professionals who live and breathe trucking operations.
Behind Vally’s Afterhours Support is not just staff — it’s a team that understands what’s at stake. We
know that a breakdown at 2 a.m. isn’t just inconvenient, it’s lost business. We know brokers can’t be
left waiting. And we know drivers need to feel supported, even when everyone else is asleep.
That’s why we act with urgency, precision, and care — as if every single truck on the road were our own.
Because at the end of the day (and night), this isn’t just business for us. It’s personal.
Headquartered in Chișinău and serving carriers across the United States.
Frequently Asked Questions

“Afterhours” means 16:00–07:00 Central Time (US & Canada), plus weekends and agreed U.S. holidays, as
set out in your order form/SOW.
How fast do you respond?
We target an initial response within 10 minutes during Afterhours via phone or email.
Targets are service goals, not guarantees.
Do you provide breakdown support?
Yes. We coordinate vendor outreach and approvals for trucks and trailers (e.g., tire changes, engine
issues),
following your spend limits and escalation tree. We do not perform mechanical work ourselves.
Can you handle lumper payments?
Yes. We facilitate lumper payments per your instructions and authorization (e.g., PO, card on file, or
approved payment portal).
We do not advance Company funds.
Will you book recovery loads if a load cancels?
Yes—afterhours recovery booking is available on supported loadboards, subject to availability and your
rate/lanes policies.
How do you communicate with our team?
Phone and email by default; SMS or other channels upon request. Calls may be recorded for
quality/training where lawful and disclosed.
See Terms, Communications.
How does onboarding work and how long does it take?
Four steps: (1) Quick Call to scope needs; (2) Custom Fit Plan with package selection; (3) Runbook setup
(contacts, approvals, tools);
(4) Go-Live. Typical lead time is 2–5 business days after we receive access and approvals.
Do you work with our TMS, loadboards, or fuel/maintenance portals?
Yes, in a limited-access role you provision (viewer/dispatcher or equivalent). We follow your security
policies and least-privilege access.
How is pricing structured?
Packages are tiered by fleet size (Starter, Collab, Growth, Business, Enterprise) with month-to-month
billing in advance.
Enterprise plans are custom. See the Packages section for current price points.
What is included vs. excluded?
Included items are listed in your plan (e.g., broker updates, driver assistance, lumper coordination,
breakdown coordination,
recovery booking afterhours). Exclusions include day-shift dispatch unless agreed, legal/tax/safety
advice,
third-party outages, and work outside defined Afterhours unless added in writing. See
Service Levels & Exclusions.
How do you handle data privacy and security?
We act as processor for client operations data under our Data Processing
Addendum (DPA).
We implement technical and organizational measures (TOMs) appropriate to risk and maintain
confidentiality.
See our Privacy Policy for details.
Do you use subcontractors or third-party providers?
Yes, vetted subprocessors (e.g., hosting, communications) as needed. We remain responsible for their
performance and provide notice of material changes.
See DPA §4.
How do cancellations and refunds work?
Month-to-month with 30 days’ written notice. Payments are generally non-refundable after service
commencement.
If we terminate for convenience, unused full months may be refunded pro-rata. See Term & Termination.
Can you provide references?
Yes. We can share references upon request and subject to client permission.
What if our needs change after go-live?
We schedule periodic check-ins and can adjust package levels, SOPs, and escalation paths as your fleet
evolves.
