BeyondTrucks announced its Trailer Yard Module during the 2026 Truckload Carriers Associations’ annual conference in Orlando, Fla.

It is designed to provide private and specialized fleets deeper visibility into trailer location and status, location and readiness level, as well as advanced real-time trailer management capabilities to help improve utilization.

“We see a significant opportunity to improve capital efficiency by increasing utilization of these trailers. If you are smarter at turning them and keeping them busy, you can significantly improve returns,” BeyondTrucks CEO Hans Galland said while speaking to the press.

“We find that the trailer yard in general is an area that is underserved by many providers…A high‑service LTL fleet easily has a five‑to‑one trailer‑tractor ratio, which means per tractor there is close to half a million dollars sometimes,” he said, adding that in specialized applications, individual trailers can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The module aggregates data from dispatch systems, trailer tracking technology and yard workflows into a single platform, allowing dispatchers to see not just where a trailer was last assigned, but where it actually is and what condition it is in.

For fleets handling sensitive commodities, the module can incorporate trailer history, including prior loads and wash requirements. Galland said this is particularly important in specialized operations where contamination risks must be managed carefully.

Existing yard management and transportation management systems lack data and functionality needed to improve operations and support real-time decision-making, the company stated in a related news release, adding that the inability to appropriately capture the status of the trailer lies at the core of the issue, as carriers often rely on assumptions based on the last dispatched locations in a TMS, or separate trailer tracking technology. That forces dispatchers and yard teams to physically walk yards to reconcile TMS and trailer tracking locations with the physical status of a trailer in the yard.

The Trailer Yard Module addresses that by comparing the last dispatched location, GPS-tracked position and yard check updates, flagging discrepancies. It also digitizes trailer state changes — including loaded, empty, in wash or pre-loaded — so status updates feed directly into dispatch decisions rather than remaining in spreadsheets or clipboards, he said.
