My trailers keep sitting in the yard too long
Professional yard management solutions from Gateway Distribution in Colorado, CO.
Your yard is backed up with trailers that sit for days waiting to move. Drivers are frustrated with delays, and you're paying detention fees that add up fast. Colorado facilities dealing with freight moving through I-25 and I-70 corridors need better trailer flow to stay competitive.
Long trailer dwell times happen when yard operations lack coordination. Trailers arrive without clear staging plans, dock scheduling gets messy, and drivers wait around because nobody knows where equipment should go. Without proper tracking, trailers get lost in your own yard.
Detention fees typically run $50-75 per day after the first 24 hours. A facility with 20 trailers sitting an extra two days each week pays $2,000-3,000 monthly in avoidable fees. Larger operations with more equipment see costs multiply quickly.
Professional yard management organizes your trailer flow from arrival to departure. Gateway Distribution tracks every trailer location, schedules dock appointments, and coordinates with drivers so equipment moves on schedule. Look for services that use real-time tracking and maintain clear communication with carriers.
With proper yard management, trailers spend hours in your facility instead of days. Detention fees drop, drivers stay happy, and your dock operations run smoothly without constant firefighting.

Look for storage facilities that offer flexible month-to-month contracts. Gateway Distribution provides short-term warehouse space with cross-docking so you can keep shipping while you find permanent space.
warehouse storage vs own facility
Outside warehouse storage makes sense when your facility costs more per square foot than rental space, or when you need overflow capacity during peak seasons. Look for facilities that offer inventory management and can ship directly to customers. Calculate the total cost including transportation between locations.
