Trailers sitting in your yard too long?

Your trailers sit for days waiting to be loaded or unloaded. Drivers get frustrated with delays and you're paying detention fees that eat into profits. Arkansas facilities along I-40 and I-30 face this daily when trailer flow gets disorganized.

When trailers sit too long, it means your yard lacks organized staging and scheduling. Drivers arrive without dock appointments, trailers get parked randomly, and nobody tracks what needs to move when. The result is bottlenecks that cost money every hour.

Detention fees typically run $25-75 per day per trailer. A facility with 20 trailers sitting an extra two days monthly pays $1,000-3,000 in avoidable fees. Multiply that across peak season and the costs add up fast. Poor yard flow also frustrates drivers, which can hurt your carrier relationships.

Start by tracking every trailer location and status in your yard. Schedule dock appointments in advance and stage trailers based on priority. Gateway Distribution handles this coordination for Arkansas facilities, managing trailer flow so drivers arrive when docks are ready and trailers move on schedule.

With organized yard management, trailers turn faster and detention fees drop. Drivers spend less time waiting and more time moving freight. Your facility runs smoother and costs less to operate.
