Trailers sitting in your yard too long?

Your trailers are stuck in the yard for days while you wait for drivers or dock space. Detention fees keep piling up and drivers get frustrated with the delays. South Carolina facilities face this problem daily, especially during peak shipping seasons when coordination breaks down.

Long trailer dwell times happen when there's no system to track locations, schedule dock appointments, or coordinate with drivers. Your yard becomes a bottleneck instead of a smooth operation. Without proper staging and movement protocols, trailers sit idle while costs mount.

Detention fees typically run $50-75 per day per trailer after the grace period. A facility with 20 trailers sitting an extra two days each week pays $2,000-3,000 monthly in avoidable fees. Add driver frustration and scheduling conflicts, and the real cost is much higher.

Professional yard management organizes your entire trailer flow. Gateway Distribution tracks every trailer location, schedules dock appointments, and coordinates driver arrivals. Your trailers get moved, staged, and processed on schedule instead of sitting idle. This service typically pays for itself within the first month through reduced detention costs.

Your yard runs like clockwork with trailers moving in and out on time. Detention fees drop dramatically and drivers know exactly when and where to arrive. Your facility becomes efficient instead of chaotic.
