Industry Context
What Is an IOS Chassis Yard?
Industrial Outdoor Storage (IOS) is a commercial real estate asset class — secured, stabilized outdoor yards used for staging trailers, containers, chassis, fleet vehicles, and heavy equipment. IOS facilities have become a critical link in the intermodal supply chain as terminal yards at ports and rail hubs operate at or near capacity.
Park My Tractor operates IOS facilities in Gary, Indiana — positioned at the intersection of I-80/I-94 and I-90, one of the highest-volume intermodal freight corridors in the country. Our yards serve as a Midwest relay point for drayage carriers, chassis pools, and container lines that need secure, accessible staging between port runs, rail pickups, and regional distribution.
Unlike terminal yards that restrict access to their own equipment, our independent IOS facility accepts all chassis types, all carriers, and all container lines — with no affiliation requirements and no terminal congestion.
Facility Compliance & Insurance
$500K Garage Keepers Insurance
Commercial-grade Garage Keepers Liability coverage protecting stored chassis and equipment against damage, theft, and loss while on our premises.
Full Entry/Exit Gate Logs
Every driver PIN-code entry and exit is timestamped and logged. Gate records available on request for compliance, auditing, and chain-of-custody documentation.
Certificate of Insurance (COI)
COI available on request for enterprise accounts, chassis pools, and container lines requiring proof of coverage for their compliance teams.
Dedicated Lot Sections
Fenced, dedicated lot sections available for operators requiring physical separation from other stored assets. Ideal for chassis pools and container lines.
Independent IOS vs. Terminal Yard Storage
Why drayage carriers and chassis pools choose an independent IOS facility over terminal-affiliated storage.

|---|---|---|
| Carrier affiliation required | None — all carriers accepted | Often restricted to affiliated carriers |
| 24/7 drop-and-hook access | Yes — no staff required | Often restricted hours / staff required |
| Chassis type restrictions | All types accepted | May restrict to specific pool chassis |
| Terminal congestion | None — independent yard | Subject to terminal gate queues |
| Contract flexibility | Monthly, long-term, block-space | Often rigid terminal agreements |
| COI & compliance docs | Available on request | Varies by terminal |
| Volume pricing | Yes — 10+ chassis | Rarely available for small operators |
