Trailers sitting in your yard too long?

Your yard is backed up with trailers waiting days to move. Detention fees are piling up and drivers are frustrated with the delays. Louisiana facilities deal with this when trailer flow gets out of control.

This happens when trailers aren't tracked properly and dock scheduling falls behind. Drivers show up without appointments, loaded trailers sit while empty ones block access, and nobody knows which trailer goes where. The result is expensive detention fees and angry carriers.

Professional yard management typically costs less than the detention fees you're already paying. The investment depends on your yard size and trailer volume, but most facilities see savings within the first month. Larger yards with higher turnover see bigger cost reductions.

Start by tracking every trailer location and scheduling all dock appointments in advance. Gateway Distribution handles yard management for Louisiana facilities, moving and staging trailers so your docks stay clear and drivers know exactly when to arrive. This eliminates most detention fees immediately.

Your yard runs smoothly with trailers moving on schedule. Drivers arrive when expected, detention fees drop to almost zero, and your facility operates without the constant backup that slows everything down.
