Fifteen trucks are stuck in line at a company’s yard gate, waiting for the gate operator to manually instruct them where to go. Warehouse forklifts idle impatiently in each of the five loading docks, all completely empty of trailers. While truckers honk in vain to avoid detention fees, foremen explain to superiors that their priority shipments will be late, despite the cargo being right outside the building.
