Below are explanations of different metrics in the Truck Efficiency section:
Truck Efficiency Cards
AVG Dwell Time
Dwell time = the time where no work is being done (loading/unloading)

Dock Management -- Truck Visit Breakdown, AVG Truck Visit Breakdown (Truck Assignment Time + Loading Time + Departure Time)

NOTE: The difference between the Avg. Truck Visit Breakdown and the Avg. Carrier Visit Breakdown is the truck visit breakdown includes all the trailer sessions - including ones that do not have a trailer assignment (carriers not associated to these)
Pre-Dwell Facility = Assignment Timestamp to Leveler Deployed Timestamp
Subtle change
Loading Time = Leveler Deployed to Leveler Stored
Loading time can also be calculated by Forklift Engaged time - example below of Cheney Brothers - Riviera Beach displaying a loading time based on Forklift Sensors
Cheney Brothers - Riviera Beach
Dock Sensors Provisioned
Door Sensor
Truck Presence Sensor
Forklift Sensor

Post Dwell Facility = Leveler Stored to Truck Departure Timestamp
Subtle change
Enterprise -- AVG Truck Visit Breakdown (Truck Assignment Time + Transit to Dock + Facility Dwell + Loading Time + Facility Dwell + Driver Dwell + Departure Time)

Pre-Dwell Driver = Assignment Timestamp to Trailer Present Timestamp
Pre-Dwell Facility = Trailer Present Timestamp to Leveler Deployed Timestamp
Loading Time = Leveler Deployed to Leveler Stored
Loading time can also be calculated by Forklift Engaged time - example below of Cheney Brothers - Riviera Beach displaying a loading time based on Forklift Sensors
Cheney Brothers - Riviera Beach
Dock Sensors Provisioned
Door Sensor
Truck Presence Sensor
Forklift Sensor

Post Dwell Facility = Leveler Stored to Truck Restraint Disengaged
Post Dwell Driver = Truck Restraint Disengaged to Truck Departure Timestamp
Truck Restraint Use
Truck Restraint Rate
Include only Sessions with Restraint

Truck Restraint Use (Restrained Trucks + Unrestrained Trucks)
11 docks facility with 10 restraints… 50 trucks that go to that dock
10 of them have restraint sensor: Total Trucks at Docks with Restraint = 10
Of the 10 docks with restraints, 4 of them engaged the restraint safety sensor = 40% restraint trucks
Total restrained trucks = 4
Median Dwell Time
Dock Management / Enterprise
Median Dwell Time = Trailer Assigned to Leveler Deployed + Leveler Stored to Trailer Depart

Dock Detention Fees

The detention threshold and the amount of fees are defined for each Carrier, if the duration of the truck session is over threshold, then the difference between session duration and detention threshold is multiplied by the amount of fees. Then we sum all fees for sessions over the lifetime threshold for each Dock.
AVG Dock Detention Fees
For each Carrier the lifetime threshold and the amount of fees are defined, if the duration of the truck session is over threshold, then the difference between session duration and lifetime threshold is multiplied by the amount of fees. Then we sum all fees for sessions over the lifetime threshold and divide by the number of Docks.
