Trailers sitting in your yard too long?

Your trailers pile up for days waiting to be loaded or unloaded. Drivers get frustrated with delays and your detention fees keep climbing. North Carolina facilities often struggle with trailer flow when dock scheduling falls behind or yard organization breaks down.

Long trailer dwell times happen when yards lack organization and scheduling systems. Trailers get parked randomly, dock appointments run behind, and drivers waste time hunting for equipment. Without proper tracking, loaded trailers sit while empty ones block access lanes.

Detention fees typically run $50-75 per day after the grace period. A facility with 20 trailers sitting an extra two days weekly pays $2,000-3,000 monthly in avoidable fees. Poor yard flow also delays shipments and frustrates carriers who may avoid your facility.

Professional yard management organizes your trailer pool and schedules dock appointments. Gateway Distribution tracks trailer locations, coordinates driver arrivals, and stages equipment for faster turnaround. Services typically include trailer spotting, yard organization, and real-time tracking systems.

With proper yard management, trailers move through your facility in hours instead of days. Detention fees drop significantly and drivers prefer working with organized yards. Your shipping schedule becomes predictable and reliable.
