Trailers sitting in your yard too long?
Professional yard management solutions for Indiana facilities and distribution centers.
Your trailers are stuck in the yard for days while you wait for drivers or dock space. Detention fees keep piling up and frustrated drivers are threatening to stop coming to your Indiana facility. The chaos is costing you money every day.
This happens when trailer movements aren't coordinated with dock schedules and driver availability. Without proper staging and tracking, trailers sit idle while you pay detention fees. Drivers get frustrated with long waits and unclear directions around your facility.
Professional yard management typically costs less than the detention fees you're already paying. The service tracks every trailer location, schedules dock appointments, and coordinates with drivers before they arrive. Costs depend on your yard size and daily trailer volume.
Start by documenting how long trailers currently sit in your yard and what you're paying in detention fees. Then call a yard management service like Gateway Distribution that can take over trailer staging and movement. They'll coordinate with your dock supervisors and drivers to eliminate the bottlenecks.
Once proper yard management is in place, trailers move smoothly from gate to dock to departure. Detention fees drop dramatically and drivers know exactly where to go when they arrive at your facility.

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.
