Calendly for your loading dock

3PL marshalling yards with SMS-confirmed check-ins

Trailer staging breaks down when carriers arrive unannounced. GateBooker gives yard operators timed slots, one dispatch link, and text-confirmed arrivals — gate teams scan QR or plate at the yard entrance.

Key capabilities

Same SMS-first dock scheduling — tailored to this industry.

Yard slot staging

Capacity-aware trailer windows maximize throughput — carriers stop circling a full yard.

One dispatch link per yard

3PLs share a branded link so carriers self-book check-in windows without calling the gate.

SMS yard confirmation

Drivers claim a slot, enter their plate, and get gate instructions by text — no app required.

Live queue visibility

Yard managers see inbound trailers, late replies, and open dock doors before the queue backs up.

How it works

Calendly for your loading dock — from one coordinator link to verified arrivals in minutes.

  1. Step 1

    Pin your loading dock

    Drop a pin on your venue map, set 30-minute arrival windows, and define staging bays — one calendar for every vendor.

  2. Step 2

    Send one scheduling link

    Share a single link with caterers, AV, staging, and every independent vendor. No spreadsheets, no group texts.

  3. Step 3

    Vendors claim via SMS

    Drivers click the link, pick a slot, enter their plate — no app download, no account. Confirmation + QR code arrives by text.

  4. Step 4

    Scan at the gate

    Gate supervisors scan plate or QR with their phone, verify instantly, and point trucks to the right bay. Traffic keeps moving.
