THE DOCKNOLOGY DIFFERENCE
Many LTL carriers use existing trailer placement solutions to place unload trailers. What these LTL carriers do not realize is that these products make the wrong decision 46% of the time on average. This means:
- Forklifts travel miles further per shift than necessary
- Forklifts consume more propane and suffer more wear and tear
- The dock becomes needlessly congested
- The work takes longer to perform, increasing labor costs
Docknology’s TPA combines a powerful algorithm customized for your company’s specific dock layouts with lessons learned from decades of hands-on operational experience and dozens of field tests to optimize trailer placement like no product currently on the market.

IT’S JUST A COUPLE OF DOORS FURTHER
That’s what a supervisor told us during one of our test trials when we told him that the optimal door was on the other side of the dock and 3 doors down from the one he had selected.
We asked him to count with us how many times the dock worker crossed the dock to load freight in that trailer. Within less than an hour, that one dock worker made 6 trips and traveled 276 yards further than if the optimal door had been chosen. Just one dock worker, just one trailer.
The next night, after implementing Docknology’s trailer placement program, that same supervisor was blown away by how early the shift finished. “We’re never done this early!”
Docknology’s TPA slashes labor costs and maximizes efficiency.

MY PROPANE SUPPLIER ACCUSED ME OF BREAKING OUR CONTRACT
That’s what the manager of one of our test terminals told us with a grin after just 3 months of our trailer placement program. The terminal’s propane use had fallen so much that its propane supplier believed the only plausible explanation could be that the terminal was purchasing propane from another supplier.
But, the terminal had not violated its contract. It was just operating much more efficiently by optimizing trailer placement.
