The Public Side of Yardor: Directory, Facility Pages, and the Pages Everyone Can See

Before anyone signs in, Yardor is a public directory: a home page, a searchable warehouse directory with a map and distance search, a public page for every facility, pages for warehouses and for carriers, the Help Center, and a note on where the data comes from.

The home page#

yardor.com opens with one search idea: find a dock. Below the headline, sample listings from the directory show what a facility page looks like — listings that come from public sources are marked as unverified until the warehouse claims them. Two audience cards split the rest of the page: “For warehouse operators” (claim your listing, publish your docks and time slots, receive appointment requests at no cost) and “For carriers” (see warehouse locations and capabilities, then book and manage dock appointments across warehouses in one place).

Search the directory#

1. Open Warehouses from the site header. Search by keyword (a facility name, a city, a ZIP code), and narrow with the filters: state, city, and the services you need.
2. Switch to the map view to see the same results as points. A numbered circle groups several warehouses — tap it to zoom in. If your search returns more warehouses than the map can draw, it says so and asks you to zoom in to narrow down.
3. Search by distance instead: “Find warehouses near me” orders results nearest first (use your exact location when offered, for better accuracy), or type a city under “Near a city” and pick a radius. Distances are approximate — near a typed city they are measured from an estimated city center, and the results say so.
4. No matches? The page tells you to broaden the keyword or clear the filters to see every listing — an empty result is a prompt to widen the search, not an error.

The directory is also organized by geography: state pages and city pages (Warehouses → a state → a city) list every warehouse in that place, which is handy when you know where the freight is going but not yet who should take it.

A facility’s public page#

• Quick facts and capabilities — what the facility handles, its services, and an availability hint for its docks. After the warehouse claims and publishes its profile, this is their own information; before that, it is marked as coming from public sources.
• Arrival guide — when the warehouse has published one: arrival instructions, PPE requirements, driver amenities, and a yard map. Drivers should read this before they set out.
• Contact and getting there — phone (call button), directions, and the facility’s own website when listed; plus nearby warehouses at the bottom, in case this one is not the fit.
• Book — signed-in carriers can start a booking from this page. The page is honest about what booking means: you pick times from a window here, and the exact slot is fixed with the warehouse on the booking itself.
• “Is this your warehouse?” — the claim entry for the operator (see the claim article), and a correction entry at the bottom of the page for anyone who spots wrong information (see the corrections article).

Pages for warehouses and for carriers#

“For warehouses” and “For carriers” in the site header lead to two short pages that explain Yardor from each side — what it costs (the directory and the warehouse workspace are free), what you get, and where to start. They are the pages to send a counterpart who has never heard of Yardor: a carrier you want booking online, or a warehouse you keep phoning.

Help, and where the data comes from#

The Help Center (help in the site header, or help.yardor.com) is public too — this article lives there. And the “Data sources” page under Legal states plainly where directory listings come from (public sources, until a warehouse claims and publishes its own information). If a listing is wrong, that page plus the correction entry on the facility page are the fastest route to getting it fixed.
