Trailers sitting in your yard for days?

Your trailers are backing up in the yard. Drivers wait hours for dock assignments while loaded trailers sit untouched for days. You're paying detention fees and watching your Alabama facility turn into a bottleneck that slows down your entire operation.

This happens when trailer movements aren't coordinated with dock schedules. Drivers arrive without assignments, loaded trailers get lost in the shuffle, and your yard becomes a parking lot instead of a flow-through operation. Poor visibility into trailer status makes it worse.

Detention fees add up fast, often $50-100 per day per trailer. Frustrated drivers avoid your facility, creating driver shortages. The real cost is lost productivity when your dock workers can't find the right trailers or spend time hunting through the yard instead of loading and unloading.

Start tracking every trailer that enters your yard with location, status, and scheduled dock time. Assign specific parking spots and communicate arrival times to dock supervisors. Gateway Distribution handles this coordination for Alabama facilities, moving trailers to the right spots and scheduling dock appointments so your operation flows smoothly.

Your yard becomes predictable. Trailers move through in 24-48 hours instead of sitting for days. Detention fees drop and drivers know exactly where to go when they arrive at your Alabama facility.
