Question 2

How does yard management work?

Accepted Answer

Yard management provides real-time visibility into all trailer and dock activity at your facility. Trailer Tracking: Monitor trailer locations and status across your yard Dock Doors: Assign inbound and outbound trailers to dock doors and see which doors are in use Yard Inventory: Trailers waiting at the yard show on the same board as the dock doors they are assigned to Dwell Alerts: A trailer that sits past its threshold raises an alert, so detention and demurrage charges get caught while they can still be avoided
