Ditch the Radio Updates When Priorities Change
In a busy container depot or transload hub, manual dispatching is a constant game of catch-up. Dispatchers yell over crowded radio channels, scribble moves on scrap paper, and constantly chase down drivers to find out if a container was successfully dropped.
Meanwhile, yard jockeys waste fuel bobtailing across the lot because they don't know their next closest move. Yard Spot eliminates it all with algorithmic precision. The system coordinates the logic so your team can stay focused.

Auto-Dispatch to Keep Yard Operations on Cruise Control
Hands-Free Queue Management
Intelligent Driver Task Prioritization. Your dispatchers shouldn't have to manually rank 50 competing yard moves. fdYard Spot's rule-based logic instantly evaluates every active request. It weighs container aging metrics, hot outbound transload schedules, and proximity to automatically hand your yard jockeys their single highest-value task next.
Slash Empty Runs
Distance Optimization & Deadhead Reduction. Burning fuel and wasting time driving empty tractors across a massive lot eats your margins. Our dispatch engine uses real-time proximity tracking to assign moves based on location. When a driver completes a drop at Dock Door 4, Yard Spot immediately feeds them a hook task from the nearest location.
Logic & Rules for Cost Avoidance
Priority Tiers & Detention Mitigation. Protect your bottom line by setting operational priority tiers. Program the engine to automatically flag containers approaching their free-time thresholds. If an asset is 12 hours away from a per-diem or detention penalty, the system automatically escalates it to the top of the queue, bypassing standard runs.
Simple, Standardized Driver Execution
Clean In-Cab Mobile Workflows. Keep your drivers safe and focused. The Yard Spot mobile app mounts cleanly inside the yard hostler cab, delivering simple, distraction-free instructions. Drivers get the exact origin slot, asset ID, and destination door. With simple tap-to-complete actions, verification happens in real time.
Replace Operational Friction into Fluid Terminal Movement
Zero Radio Bottlenecks
Eliminate the constant chatter, transcription errors, and driver downtime spent waiting for a dispatcher to pick up the radio.
Maximize Moves Per Hour
By cutting out deadhead runs and optimizing routing sequences, your current yard jockey fleet can execute significantly more moves per shift.
Easy Driver Onboarding
Because the in-cab app gives step-by-step physical location directions, new or temporary drivers become highly productive on day one without layout training.
