One shared yard

Set up your company

Create an account, then create a company to begin its 14-day trial. A company manager shares a join code with teammates. Each person uses their own account; access and editing tools depend on their assigned role.

Arrange yard sections, rows, spots and dock doors to represent the layout your team uses. The homepage demo lets you try sample sections and trailer edits without changing a real yard.

Record arrivals

Add a trailer to an open spot using its trailer number. Record its status, condition and notes so the next person can understand the record.

If your company enables guest driver check-in, an outside driver can use the yard’s shared link, QR code or Drop Code to submit their name, carrier and trailer number. Yard staff review the request and assign a spot. The driver does not receive access to company yard records just by checking in.

See the check-in instructions for link expiry and sharing details.

Keep moves current

When a trailer moves, an authorized team member records its new spot in YardDog. Your team can search trailer numbers and notes, review statuses and look up recorded activity.

Removing a trailer from its spot moves it to Off Yard while keeping it in the trailer directory. Bringing that trailer back into an open spot returns it to the yard. The activity view provides four months of history.

These records depend on people entering accurate updates and having a network connection. A move on the ground is not automatically detected. Read how trailer tracking works before choosing a workflow.

Report an issue

Open a trailer and choose Report trailer issue. Add a comment, a photo or both. Dispatch can mark a report In progress or Resolved, and the reporter can follow its updates.

Device notifications are optional and require permission. On iPhone or iPad, add YardDog to the Home Screen and open it there before enabling notifications.

Hand off the shift

Use the shared yard records, trailer issues, activity and shift handoffs to give the next crew context. Keep company records current as the shift changes, and check actual equipment and site procedures before moving a trailer.
