Trailers sitting in your yard too long?
Professional yard management solutions for Kansas facilities and distribution centers.
Your trailers sit for days waiting to be loaded or unloaded. You're paying detention fees while drivers get frustrated with delays. Kansas facilities along I-70 and I-35 corridors face this problem daily, especially during peak shipping seasons.
Long trailer dwell times happen when yards lack organized staging systems. Trailers arrive without dock assignments, sit in random spots, and create bottlenecks. Drivers waste hours hunting for specific trailers while your team scrambles to coordinate loading schedules.
Detention fees add up fast, typically $50-100 per day per trailer after the grace period. Peak seasons around Kansas City and Wichita can double these costs. The bigger your yard and the more carriers you work with, the worse the problem becomes without proper tracking systems.
Professional yard management organizes this chaos. Gateway Distribution tracks every trailer location, schedules dock appointments, and coordinates directly with drivers. You get real-time visibility of your yard status and faster turnaround times. Call them to discuss your current trailer flow and detention costs.
A well-managed yard moves trailers in hours, not days. Detention fees drop significantly while driver satisfaction improves. Your docks stay busy with scheduled loads instead of waiting for missing 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.
