Re:Hormuz crisis side effect: a sharp rise in container ship... by Animats on Sunday May 31, 2026 @02:44AM (#48343568)
Another common solution is to have the driver park and leave the container and chassis. Long-haul driver and tractor leave. Local movement is done with a "terminal tractor" or "yard goat", a mini tractor built for short trips. Those have a tight turning radius, good visibility, and low speed.[1] Like most buffering systems, it adds latency and consumes buffer space, while allowing more backlog.
