Trailers sitting in your yard too long?
Professional yard management solutions for Georgia facilities.
Your trailers sit for days waiting to be loaded or unloaded. You're paying detention fees and drivers are getting frustrated with delays. Georgia facilities along I-75 and I-285 corridors face this same problem every day.
Long trailer dwell times happen when there's no system for tracking, staging, and moving trailers efficiently. Drivers show up and wait. Trailers block dock doors. Nobody knows what's ready to go or what's been sitting since Tuesday. The result is detention fees, angry drivers, and delayed shipments.
Professional yard management typically costs less than the detention fees you're already paying. The scope depends on your trailer volume and yard size. A facility handling 20-30 trailers daily might see immediate savings. Larger operations with 50+ trailers often recover the service cost within the first month through reduced detention and faster turnaround.
Start by tracking your current detention costs for one week. Then call a yard management service to discuss trailer flow at your facility. Gateway Distribution specializes in trailer pool management for Georgia facilities, handling the staging, tracking, and coordination so your dock doors stay productive. Ask about trailer tracking systems and driver coordination.
Once proper yard management is in place, trailers move on schedule. Detention fees drop. Drivers spend less time waiting and more time driving. Your facility operates smoothly without the daily chaos of misplaced or delayed trailers.

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.
