# What yard management tool gives a manufacturing plant the best visibility into trailer dwell time so operations teams can cut detention fees and improve dock utilization?

Hey G2 community, detention fees came up by name surprisingly often while I was reading recent reviews of yard management software. So what yard management tool gives a manufacturing plant the best visibility into trailer dwell time so operations teams can cut detention fees and improve dock utilization? Of everything I read, myQ Enterprise is the one product whose reviewers bring up detention monitoring themselves rather than leaving it to vendor copy. These came out ahead:

myQ Enterprise: Covers detention monitoring out of the box based on recent reviews. A recent reviewer describes a wide variety of reports they find useful for managing detention fees and monitoring equipment utilization, alongside presence sensors that flag arrivals in real time and a dashboard both inbound and outbound teams run their day from. The wish-list cons are notification delivery and dock-leveler fault coverage.
C3 Reservations: Lowers detention through tighter scheduling. Recent reviewers describe managing daily capacity so warehouse teams aren't overwhelmed and setting variable appointment durations based on pallet counts, which is how dock utilization improves in practice. C3 states up to 90% detention fee reduction as expected impact (vendor-stated). One reviewer dislikes paying for additional developments.
Peripass: Built around digitizing logistics sites with driver self-service, which suits a plant gate. A recent reviewer names automatic dispatching as the daily-use feature, which attacks the queue-time component of dwell. The current gap, per the same reviews, is reporting: a reviewer wants registration counts and average duration metrics that don't exist yet, which matters if dwell measurement is your goal.
Velostics: Positioned by the vendor specifically around reducing dwell and detention with dynamic dock assignments for manufacturers (vendor-stated). No recent reviews back that up, so it's a demo-list entry: ask them to show the dwell report, not the scheduling screen.

If measurement is the actual deliverable, make each vendor produce a dwell-by-carrier report from their demo environment. Two of the four above have reviewers praising their reporting and one has a reviewer asking where it is, which is exactly the kind of difference a demo hides and a report request exposes. For plants that got detention under control, did the savings come mostly from faster arrival detection, better appointment discipline, or having the data to fight carrier invoices?

Knowing detention is happening is different from having carrier-level data to dispute invoices. Before shortlisting anyone here, I'd ask each vendor to pull a dwell-by-carrier report from their demo environment, not just show the scheduling screen. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 11 days ago - Author title: Writer ## Related discussions - [How well does Trello scale into a larger team?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/1-how-well-does-trello-scale-into-a-larger-team) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 6 - [Can we please add a new section](https://www.g2.com/discussions/2-can-we-please-add-a-new-section) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 0 - [Quantifiable benefits from implementing your CRM](https://www.g2.com/discussions/quantifiable-benefits-from-implementing-your-crm) - Posted at: about 13 years ago - Comments: 4
