Leveraging decades of knowledge and expertise in shuttle and spotting services, Keller Trucking proudly offers an advanced Yard Management System (YMS) called YardLink powered by Keller. This innovative platform delivers unmatched visibility and insights into yard operations directly at a customer’s site.
YardLink seamlessly integrates capabilities honed from our own internal warehouse operations, including dock scheduling and efficient trailer jockeying. This comprehensive system can be customized to meet the specific needs of each customer, providing a solution that exceeds conventional one-size-fits-all offerings.
Many standard YMS solutions across the industry often fall short, struggling to provide the tailored functionality and efficient driver management needed for various types of operations, especially as they grow. YardLink addresses these needs with features like live yard visibility, efficient gate check-in/out processes, precise dock scheduling, and streamlined driver move requests. It also automatically timestamps dwell and detention times, providing critical data for continuous improvement and strategic decision-making.
Our commitment to enhancing driver productivity and maximizing customer value is at the heart of YardLink’s design, delivering optimal operational efficiency and significant cost savings for your logistics needs. This customizable approach adapts to your requirements, so you don’t have to adjust your operation to fit the system.
By investing in cutting-edge trucking technologies, we have reaped tremendous rewards with improved fuel economy, reduced theft, more informed decision making, and better productivity. Keller Trucking is happy to offer all of our customers these benefits, backed by the industry’s best customer service team.
