Your trailers keep sitting in the yard too long?

Your yard is backing up. Trailers sit for days waiting to be loaded or unloaded while detention fees pile up. Drivers get frustrated with delays, and your dock schedule falls further behind. Nebraska facilities along I-80 and US-30 see this problem when trailer flow isn't managed properly.

Long trailer dwell times happen when there's no system for tracking locations, scheduling dock appointments, or coordinating with drivers. Trailers get lost in the yard or sit loaded because nobody knows they're ready to move. Without clear staging areas and movement protocols, even small yards become bottlenecks.

Detention fees typically run $50-100 per day per trailer after the free time expires. A facility with 10 trailers sitting an extra 3 days each week pays $1,500-3,000 monthly in avoidable fees. Larger operations with 50+ trailers can see detention costs reach $15,000+ per month when yard flow breaks down.

Look for a service that tracks every trailer location, schedules dock appointments, and coordinates directly with drivers.
