If the container is moved internally within the yard, the Last Free Day (LFD) clock for pickup is halted until the container is no longer in a closed area.
If the closed area designation is removed from where the container is stored, the LFD clock for pickup is also halted until the container is no longer in a closed area.
The terminal and the amount of time spent in the closed area will determine how long your LFD will be prolonged.
No, a truck driver cannot reclaim a container that is in a closed location.
Any portion of the yard restricted from container pickup by outside operators by the terminal is referred to as a closed area.
Closed areas can linger for a few hours or a few days and are more likely to happen during periods of terminal congestion.
Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to change the situation; you will just have to wait.
