Load your shipments regardless of the truck's location.
NoDwell gives your facility on-demand yard trucks and local truck power, so carriers drop a trailer, hook the next one and go. Get control of your dock times regardless of the location of the truck.
Designed to pay for itself. We'll show you the math on our operation and yours.
Technology ready and in use for
We optimize the first and last mile for all types of truckload shipments, so the long haul in between never starts or ends with a wait.
Every live load is a red light.
Live loading couples a driver, a tractor and a trailer to your labor schedule. When anything slips, everyone waits, and you pay for it in your freight rates! Then there's paying for detention, missed appointments and carriers who stop wanting your freight.
Higher expected crash rate for every 15 minutes added to average dwell
Annual cost of detention: $3.6B in direct expense plus $11.5B in lost productivity
Drop-and-hook for a fraction of the cost.
Or possibly a net negative.
We make what has been proven for decades by higher-volume shippers to increase throughput, operational efficiency and flexibility, while decreasing staff turnover and bottlenecks in shipping and receiving, available to every shipper, as needed, on your terms.
And yes, the economics of our technology and vertically integrated services can produce immediate ROI in the form of lower expenses for larger or more secure facilities. Ask us how.
We learn your operation
Doors, labor shifts, freight mix, appointment patterns and where your trucks wait today. We start with a conversation, not a contract.
We build around it
We set up the service and the technology around how your facility actually works, from how moves get requested to how they show up in your systems.
Then we make it invisible
Our trained yard and local drivers handle the moves. Trucks drop and go, and you get visibility into every move.
Yard tractor & local truck power, when and how you need it.
Yard and dock switches
We pull trailers off your doors, stage loaded and empty trailers, and keep the yard moving while making the location of the truck itself irrelevant, so inbound and outbound trucks never wait on your dock.
Local pickup, delivery and relay
Local pickup or delivery for you, on your trailers around the metro, trailer repositioning between facilities, and relays that let long-haul trucks hand off and keep rolling.
Three ways to buy
Pick what fits your volume. No exclusive, multi-year commitment required to get started.
On demand
On-demand power for call-ins, overflow, peaks and the days your plan falls apart.
Shared yard truck
Guaranteed access to a yard truck that serves your facility simultaneously with a few neighbors, so each facility only pays for its share.
Your own truck
A truck and driver assigned to your yard for high-volume sites, without you owning the equipment or the headcount.
Exception management, on demand.
When the plan falls apart, book exactly what you need, when you need it. All five services run today with Spot On's trucks, our first provider on the NoDwell platform.
Fractional yard spotter
An as-needed yard spotter for call-ins, peaks and backed-up doors.
Fractional local tractor
As-needed local power for pickups, deliveries, repositioning and relays that can't wait for the next truck.
Freight handling
Hands to load, unload or rework freight when your crew is stretched.
Short-term storage
Somewhere for trailers and freight to sit when your yard or dock is full.
Truck parking
Safe parking close to the freight, so drivers aren't left circling.
The full NoDwell marketplace
We open the platform to more providers, so these services are bookable on demand well beyond our own trucks.

An aggregator for sharing local assets.
Keep the systems you already run. We'll connect them. No additional platform to use, and a goal of becoming invisible to your operation because it just works.
No YMS? We'll bring options through our partnerships. We build roughly 80% of it from scratch for each client, hosted on a trusted, secured cloud server and completely bespoke to your facility, as if it were built in-house.
- Voice-enabled move requests
- Your priority rules
- Real-time yard view and trailer status
- Connects to your YMS, WMS, TMS or ERP
- Move history and reporting
- In use at our pilot site
License the platform.
We license our shared YMS aggregator to yard management providers and YMS software companies. The only objective: get the biggest providers in the country optimizing their locations so drop-and-hook reaches more shippers, faster.
Run by people who have lived this problem.
Operators, not just software
Our founder started as a driver, built a fleet and has run yard operations for enterprise shippers for 15 years. Today the service is performed by our carrier, Spot On Logistics, with a combined 100 years of experience.
Designed to pay for itself
Less detention, fewer bottlenecks at check-in and check-out, fewer missed appointments and better carrier rates can outweigh what you pay us. We'll show you the math on our operation and yours.
Become a shipper of choice
Carriers prefer facilities where they can drop and go. Faster turns make your freight easier to cover, especially when capacity gets tight.
