Trailers sitting in your yard too long?

Your yard has become a bottleneck. Trailers sit for days waiting to be loaded or unloaded while detention fees pile up. Drivers are frustrated with delays, and your dock schedule is a mess. This problem hits Oregon facilities hard with the heavy I-5 and I-84 freight traffic.

Long trailer dwell times happen when yard operations lack coordination. Trailers arrive without dock appointments. Loaded units sit because drivers can't find them. Empty trailers block access to full ones. Your team spends time hunting for equipment instead of moving freight.

Professional yard management typically costs less than the detention fees you're already paying. Most Oregon facilities see payback within 60 days. Pricing depends on trailer volume and yard size. Facilities handling 50+ trailers weekly benefit most from dedicated yard jockeys and tracking systems.

Start by tracking your current detention costs and average trailer dwell time. Map your yard layout and identify bottlenecks. Gateway Distribution provides trailer pool management that organizes your flow, schedules dock appointments, and coordinates with drivers. Call to discuss your specific yard challenges and get a cost comparison.

With proper yard management, trailers move in and out on schedule. Detention fees drop to near zero. Drivers know exactly where to find their equipment. Your dock team focuses on loading instead of searching for trailers.
