Terminal in the Yard
The Problem
Difficulty locating trailers due to poor tracking, manual yard maps, or radio call-outs.g lines of trucks waiting for check-in due to manual processes or limited gate staff
Yard trucks spend time searching for trailers or making non-value-added shuffles.
Operators don’t know what spaces are available or which assets are full/empty, creating inefficiencies.
Congested lanes, unclear traffic flows, and lack of monitoring increase accident risk between drivers, forklifts, and pedestrians.
