# Yard Storage

Yard storage is the storage of containers in a trucker's gated yard, for which truckers charge a daily fee. It is used when a container cannot be delivered before the Last Free Day, to avoid costly demurrage charges.

## What is yard storage?

Yard storage is the storage of containers in a trucker’s gated yard. If a container cannot be delivered to its destination before the [Last Free Day](https://www.flex.thisisbrew.com/glossary/last-free-day/), the container may be stored at the trucker’s yard to avoid costly [demurrage](https://www.flex.thisisbrew.com/glossary/demurrage/) charges. Truckers charge a daily fee for yard storage.

A [pre-pull](https://www.flex.thisisbrew.com/glossary/pre-pull/) will usually include a free night’s storage at the trucker’s yard before beginning to incur yard storage fees.
