My cousin who works at the port in Savannah told me their new yard management system cut truck turnaround by 40 minutes on average, which made me wonder if we're too focused on highway speed over terminal efficiency.

Has anyone else seen big gains from focusing on the time trucks spend parked instead of just trying to shave minutes off the drive?

Yard time is the real bottleneck.

What's the yard even for if you can't use it? Feels like they schedule it during the one hour nobody is free. Classic planning right there.
