Real-Time Yard Load Delay Exception Alerts
Every few minutes, WebRun checks active loads in YardView for any unit that has exceeded its scheduled dock time or gate check-in window, sends an immediate Telegram alert to your operations channel with the load and carrier details, and appends the exception to a Google Sheet delay log for trend analysis.
How do I get real-time alerts when a load is delayed in my yard management system?
WebRun checks active loads in YardView every 10 minutes, flags any unit more than 30 minutes past its scheduled dock or gate window, and sends a real-time Telegram alert to your operations channel with load and carrier details. Every exception is also logged in Google Sheets for delay trend analysis.
- Delay exceptions are caught and alerted within 10 to 20 minutes of the threshold crossing
- Operations team can intervene before a delayed load cascades into downstream disruption
- Google Sheet log surfaces delay trends by carrier and door for weekly review
Built for yard operations teams · dock supervisors · logistics coordinators · 3PL operations managers

Questions, answered
How quickly does it alert the team after a delay starts?
It checks every 10 minutes, so an exception is typically caught and alerted within 10 to 20 minutes of the delay threshold being crossed.
Will it contact the carrier or driver when a delay is detected?
No. Alerts go only to your internal Telegram operations channel. Any outreach to the carrier or driver is handled by your team after they see the alert.
Can I adjust the delay threshold above 30 minutes?
Yes. You can set the delay threshold to any value in your WebRun setup. Some yards prefer a 60-minute threshold to reduce alert volume during peak periods.
