Remote yard monitoring in Abilene

Terminals along I-20 and Union Pacific's mainline

Abilene sits on the I-20 loop roughly halfway between Fort Worth and Midland, with the former Texas and Pacific Railway, now Union Pacific's mainline, splitting the city into north and south halves. The Development Corporation of Abilene has built out two business parks along I-20, Five Points Business Park and Access Business Park, the second sitting directly across the highway from Abilene Regional Airport. In 2025 a national trucking carrier broke ground in Access Business Park on a $15 million, 58,000-square-foot terminal on 21 acres, expected to retain 16 jobs and add 22 more.

FBI 2024 data shows Abilene recorded 417 burglaries that year, equal to about 320 for every 100,000 residents, above both the Texas and national figures, even as the city's motor vehicle theft count ran below both benchmarks. Dyess Air Force Base, the city's largest employer with close to 8,900 workers, draws contractors and suppliers who run their own yards nearby, and the terminals and trailer lots strung along the I-20 loop face the same overnight exposure as any trucking hub: parked trailers and equipment left unattended once a shift ends.

There's no gap in coverage at an Abilene terminal: every camera stays live for all 8,760 hours of the year, not just during a shift. AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone moving among the trailers after the gates close, an agent checks the footage, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and calls in police along with your own contacts, and a written report follows with video clips. Gate Operations checks each driver against your pickup lists, and Yard Operations adds trailer inspections and visual seal checks on video.
