Top 10 Yard Problems
The Problem
When your yard relies on manual, paper-based processes and guesswork, you're not just wasting time—you're inviting a host of operational inefficiencies that can cripple your business. This lack of automated, data-driven workflows prevents your team from operating at its full potential. Here are five problems caused by inefficient operations in the yard:
Without a clear, automated system, your team spends valuable time on redundant tasks like searching for trailers, manually updating spreadsheets, and making unnecessary trips, leading to significant productivity loss.
Relying on verbal communication and handwritten notes creates a high risk of human error, leading to misplaced shipments, incorrect data, and costly mistakes that require time and resources to fix.
It's difficult to get the most out of your fleet when you don't know where every asset is or its status. This leads to underutilized trailers, jockeys with no assigned tasks, and a general lack of visibility into your capacity.
When one part of the operation slows down, it impacts everything else. Without a system to manage traffic flow and task assignment, you're constantly fighting bottlenecks at the gate, at the dock, and throughout the yard.
In an inefficient yard, teams are always reacting to problems as they happen instead of proactively preventing them. This leads to constant fire-fighting and an inability to plan or optimize.
