Your Yard. Our Product.
Six Months On Us.

We're handing the full Yard Mule Pro system to five yards, free for six months. Voice-first trailer tracking, live satellite map, unlimited users, YardSafe — the whole thing. In return, we want the truth about how it runs in your yard. No hardware. No procurement sign-off. Exit any time on 30 days' notice.

This isn't a stripped-down trial. Founding partners get the full product, full support, and direct access to the founder — with pricing that stays generous well past the free window.

Month-to-month, always.
No purchase order required. Because the pilot is free and month-to-month, it stays under most procurement sign-off thresholds — a yard manager can start without a contract. Small yard = up to 10 spots. Large yard = 11+ spots.

What you get.
What we ask.

You get the whole thing

  • Live satellite yard map. Your actual yard, mapped from satellite, color-coded spot statuses visible to dispatch and drivers at a glance.
  • Voice-first trailer logging. Drivers speak the trailer number instead of typing it — gloves on, cold, fast-paced, no problem.
  • Real-time sync, unlimited users. Every move broadcasts to every device in under a second. Add every driver, dispatcher, and manager — no per-seat fees.
  • YardSafe driver screen lock. The screen locks the moment the truck moves and unlocks after a confirmed stop. Built in, no config.
  • Direct founder access. You're not a ticket number. You talk to the person building the product, and your yard shapes it.

We ask three things

  • One 30-minute call a month. Tell us what's working and what isn't. Blunt is better.
  • One reference call a quarter. Once you're live, a future customer asks how it's going. You tell the truth.
  • Permission to tell your story — only if it works, and only after you approve every word before it goes public.

That's the whole exchange. No money for six months. Just the truth about how Yard Mule Pro runs in a real yard.

Up and running
in one week.

No hardware. No app store. No IT tickets. We work with you directly to learn your yard before we build it.

01 · Apply

Claim a Slot

Tell us about your yard. If it's a fit and a slot is open, we lock it and schedule a kickoff — usually within 24 hours.

02 · Build

We Map Your Yard

Your satellite map, every dock door, drop zone, and parking spot — configured to your exact layout in about two days.

03 · Train

30 Minutes, Done

A 30 to 45 minute session with your dispatcher and drivers. Then we monitor two full shifts to confirm sync is rock-solid.

04 · Run

Six Months Free

You run the full product. We listen. The yard gets quieter, faster, and safer — and you tell us where it can be better.

A safer yard,
built in.

YardSafe locks the driver's screen the moment the truck moves and unlocks automatically after a confirmed full stop — about eight seconds, no driver action required. No enforcement, no config. The software keeps eyes up when it counts.

A yard driver should never have to choose between watching their mirrors and managing a screen. With Yard Mule Pro, they don't.

6.2%
A 15-minute increase in yard dwell time correlates with a 6.2% increase in crash rates. Faster, quieter yards are safer yards.

Built for working yards.

Lumber & Building Materials

Distribution yards juggling drop trailers, loading spaces, and a crew that's standing still when loads aren't staged.

3PL & Logistics Yards

Regional yards running 50 to 500 spots on radios, whiteboards, and a dispatcher holding it all in their head.

Multi-Yard Operators

Companies running the same problem across many sites. Prove it in one yard, then roll the playbook out everywhere.

No fine print.

Is it really free?

Yes. Six months, full product, full support, no credit card. Months 7–12 run at 50% off ($250 small / $400 large). Year two and beyond is standard pricing. Everything is month-to-month.

What's the catch?

The exchange is feedback, not money — one 30-minute call a month, one reference call a quarter once you're live, and permission to share your story only if it works and only after you approve it. That's it.

Do I need IT or procurement to sign off?

No. There's zero hardware to install — it runs on the phones and tablets already in your yard. Because the pilot is free and month-to-month, it typically stays under procurement sign-off thresholds. A yard manager can start without a PO.

What happens after six months?

Nothing automatic. You choose to continue at the locked founding-partner rate or walk away on 30 days' notice. No long-term contract, ever.

How fast can we go live?

About a week. We map your yard in roughly two days, train your team in under an hour, and monitor two shifts to confirm stability before handing it off.

How many slots are left?

The program is capped at five yards, first come, first served. If the slots fill before you reach out, we'll add you to the waitlist for the next cohort.
