The operating problem

What the daily total does not explain

The first rush can arrive before the full yard crew. Contractors queue beside delivery trucks, forklifts share lanes with customer pickups, and late loads keep drivers on the clock. A complaint tells the owner there was a problem, but not where the time went.

Where is vehicle time building up in the yard?

Reassign crews by lane. Review load-out dwell alongside the camera evidence for the same operating period.

Where is vehicle time building up in the yard? Load-out lanes are holding vehicles. Review the camera evidence, load-out dwell, and the next action: reassign crews by lane. The displayed values are examples for evaluating the workflow, not measured customer results.

FAQ

Questions before measuring yard load-out.

Gate queues, loading intervals, lane capacity, and visible forklift movement.

Discuss your site's requirementsGeneral questions & other industries

Why do contractors wait so long for load-out?

Split gate arrival, queue entry, loading start, and exit into separate intervals. Compare the morning arrival peak with active loading capacity. Fortune AI provides the visible timeline so the yard can test a lane or crew change.

What to measureGate-to-gate and pre-loading wait by lane and hour.

Are deliveries blocking customer pickup lanes?

Review overlapping truck, forklift, and customer-vehicle presence in agreed lanes. Confirm loading assignments and routing with the yard team. Co-presence is a review event, not proof of a near miss or unsafe behavior.

What to measureLane occupancy and overlapping movement intervals with reviewable footage.

Should we add yard staff or change the loading schedule?

Compare arrivals, waiting, and visible crew coverage in the same time windows. Test a scheduling or allocation change first where the evidence shows a repeated mismatch. Include actual paid hours and implementation cost in any financial comparison.

What to measureWait distribution and served vehicles per comparable operating hour.

What scope and privacy requirements should we agree on?

Start with vehicle count and dwell on the selected views. Forklift and vehicle co-presence is an event for human review, not an automatic near-miss or safety determination.
