Yard checks for drayage and trucking yards

Out of date before it's finished

A manual yard check at your yard is a multi-hour job.

And it's out of date before it's finished, because trucks keep moving boxes while someone works the rows with a clipboard.

Illustration. A manual yard check takes hours, and trucks keep taking boxes out and bringing boxes in while it runs, so the finished list is already wrong. One lap with a mounted phone is done before most of those moves happen.

How QBoss helps
