Trailers sitting in your yard too long?

Your trailers pile up in the yard for days. Drivers wait around. You pay detention fees. Your dock schedule falls apart because no one knows where anything is. Kentucky facilities lose thousands every month to poor trailer flow.

When trailers sit too long, it means your yard lacks a tracking system. Drivers arrive but can't find their assigned trailer. Loaded trailers sit in the wrong spots. Empty trailers block dock doors. Without someone managing the flow, your yard becomes a parking lot instead of a working facility.

Detention fees add up fast. Most carriers charge $50 to $100 per day after the first 24 hours. A facility with 20 trailers sitting three extra days pays $3,000 to $6,000 in fees. Add driver frustration and delayed shipments. The real cost hits your reputation with carriers and customers.
