Trailers sitting in your yard for days?

Your yard has become a bottleneck. Trailers sit for days waiting to be loaded or unloaded while detention fees pile up. Drivers get frustrated with delays, and your dock schedule is a mess. Idaho facilities often struggle with this because limited driver availability makes every delay costly.

Long trailer dwell times happen when yards lack organized staging and scheduling systems. Trailers arrive without clear dock assignments, sit in random spots, and create traffic jams when drivers need to move them. Poor visibility into trailer locations makes it impossible to plan efficient loading sequences.

Professional yard management typically costs less than the detention fees you're already paying. Services include trailer spotting, dock scheduling, and real-time tracking systems. Costs depend on yard size and trailer volume, but most Idaho facilities see immediate savings from reduced detention charges and faster turnaround times.

Start by tracking your current detention costs and average trailer dwell time for one week. Then call Gateway Distribution to discuss yard management options. Professional yard management organizes your trailer flow, coordinates with drivers, and provides real-time visibility into every trailer location. This eliminates the guesswork that creates delays.

With proper yard management, trailers move in and out on schedule. Your detention fees drop dramatically, drivers spend less time waiting, and your dock operates at full capacity. Your yard becomes a smooth operation instead of a daily headache.
