Trailers sitting in your yard too long?
Professional yard management solutions for Rhode Island facilities.
Your dock schedule is backed up, drivers are waiting for hours, and those detention fees keep piling up. Rhode Island facilities face this daily when trailers sit unorganized in the yard. You need better coordination between your dock doors and incoming traffic.
This happens when there's no system tracking which trailers need to move where. Drivers show up without appointments, loaded trailers block empty ones, and your dock crew wastes time hunting for the right equipment. Without proper staging, everything backs up.
Detention fees typically run $50-100 per day per trailer. A busy Rhode Island facility might pay thousands monthly in avoidable fees. The problem gets worse as your volume grows. More trailers mean more confusion without the right tracking system.
You need professional yard management that tracks every trailer location and schedules dock appointments. Gateway Distribution handles the staging, moving, and coordination so drivers know exactly where to go. This eliminates the waiting and searching that creates delays.
Your yard runs like clockwork with trailers moving smoothly from gate to dock. Detention fees drop dramatically and drivers spend less time waiting. Your dock crew focuses on loading instead of hunting for equipment.

warehouse storage vs own facility
Outside warehouse storage makes sense when your facility costs more per square foot than rental space, or when you need overflow capacity during peak seasons. Look for facilities that offer inventory management and can ship directly to customers. Calculate the total cost including transportation between locations.
