Trucking & LogisticsYard Management4HighDriver$ implied

Drivers waste significant time searching for empty trailers because other drivers leave trucks attached to empties off the clock, and the yard lacks organization.

No system to track trailer location or status (empty/loaded), no enforcement of parking rules, causing drivers to waste 15+ minutes per day and drive extra miles to find empties.
