Trailers sitting in your yard too long?

Your yard is backed up with trailers that sit for days waiting to move. Drivers are frustrated with delays and detention fees are eating into your profits. Texas facilities dealing with high trailer volume need better coordination to keep things flowing.

When trailers sit too long in your yard, it usually means poor coordination between loading schedules, driver arrivals, and dock availability. Without someone actively tracking and moving trailers, they pile up in random spots. Drivers waste time hunting for their assigned trailer while loaded ones block access to empty docks.

Detention fees typically run $50-75 per day after the first 24 hours. Multiply that across multiple trailers and you're looking at thousands monthly. The bigger issue is driver frustration leading to service delays. Some carriers will stop servicing facilities with consistent yard problems.

You need professional yard management to organize trailer flow and eliminate delays. Gateway Distribution tracks every trailer location, schedules dock appointments, and coordinates with drivers before they arrive. We move trailers to proper staging areas and ensure loaded units get priority access to exit routes.

With organized yard management, trailers move through your facility in 4-6 hours instead of sitting for days. Detention fees drop to nearly zero and drivers know exactly where to find their equipment.
