Yard Management
Yard Management, also known as Spotting, involves the systematic coordination and control
of different activities within the transportation yards.
These activities include:
• Trailer Shuttles Between Yard, Dock & Warehouse
• Trailer Pool Management
• Open Dock Scheduling
• Trailer Inventory
• Trailer Receiving
• Parking Lot Optimization
• YMS Software (Yard Management Software)
The goal of nationwide yard management is to ensure the safest, most efficient movement of goods and maximization of equipment. To achieve these goals, yard managers use technology to track goods, equipment and manage yard operations. We work closely with logistics providers, carriers, shippers, and the customer to optimize operations.

In need of Yard Management Services?
Let WBT help.
“Our business has various truckload carriers delivering to us from all points in North America and often those carriers are dropping their trailers in our freight yard, or they are swapping out a loaded trailer with an empty.
We rely on WBT to provide yard management services to us. Their technology helps us keep track of what trailers are where, what trailers are empty vs. full and it keeps our docks active with loaded trailers. The drivers who deliver to us are also very happy as their empties are staged and ready for pickup. It is also helps enforce our safety program. Trailers are spotted in our docks, with wheel chocks, trailer stands, and freight doors open.”
