Live UnloadDock Scheduling & Operations

Features · Drop trailers and the yard

Drop trailers booked, tracked and collected on time.

Carriers book drop trailers the same way they book live appointments, with the trailer number and every PO on board. Your team marks each trailer dropped, ready and collected, and the yard view shows what is on the lot and for how long.

On every plan

Daily limits, not dock hours

Drop and unload and drop and load each have their own daily limit per warehouse, so a drop never takes a live truck's slot.

Several POs per trailer

A carrier can list up to 10 other POs on the same trailer. Each is checked like any reference, and a PO can be on only one active appointment.

Three clear steps

Dropped when it arrives, Ready when it is unloaded or loaded (the carrier is emailed to collect it), Collected when it leaves.

A yard view

Every trailer dropped and not yet collected, oldest first: trailer, POs, carrier, time on the lot and yard location. Download it as CSV or have it emailed every day.

Yard rules

Limit how many trailers each carrier can have on your yard, and set free time on the lot so long-stay trailers stand out.

On every plan

Drop trailers are included on Pro and Enterprise. They stay off until an administrator switches them on for a warehouse.

Questions

Do drops use our dock capacity?

No. Drops have their own daily limits and never count against hourly dock capacity, and live appointments never count against drop limits.

Can a carrier change a drop online?

Yes, until the trailer is marked dropped. After that only the warehouse can change it.

How is a carrier recognized for yard limits?

By the email domain it books with, since typed carrier names vary. For public email services such as Gmail, it is the exact address.
