Trailers sitting in your yard too long?

Your yard is clogged with trailers that sit for days waiting to move. Drivers get frustrated with delays. Detention fees pile up. Minnesota's harsh winter weather makes the problem worse when trailers freeze to the ground or become hard to locate under snow.

This happens when trailer movements aren't tracked or scheduled properly. Drivers arrive without knowing which dock to use. Loaded trailers sit because no one knows they're ready to ship. Empty trailers block access to full ones. The result is wasted time and mounting detention costs.

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. Pricing depends on your yard size and trailer volume, but most facilities see immediate savings.

Start by mapping your current trailer flow and counting how many trailers sit longer than 24 hours. Look for a service that provides real-time tracking and driver communication. Gateway Distribution specializes in trailer pool management across Minnesota, handling the staging and movement so your facility never waits on a driver.

Once proper yard management is in place, trailers move efficiently through your facility. Detention fees drop significantly. Drivers arrive knowing exactly where to go and what to do.
