Overview

Baton reduces detention time in freight by operating 24/7 trailer drop yards and pooled trailers at strategic drop zones. Drivers drop their trailer and quickly hook up a ready trailer from the pool, cutting in-city time to about 15 minutes and delivering high on-time performance (98.2%). Revenue comes from fees to use drop yards and pooled trailers, offering a cost-saving alternative to detention for carriers, shippers, brokers, and customers. The goal is to eliminate detention time across the freight industry and improve driver productivity and satisfaction through faster, more predictable handoffs.
