queue of trucks inside the networknode

Dears,

I am trying to make trucks go to a shipping yard through a network node, however, once the available slots are filled, no more trucks move from the "queue origin" object to the network. I need your help to overcome this obstacle. I want to model the queue of trucks in the network node especially when the shipping yard slots are full.

Thank you in advance.

The Loading Yard won't pull any items from the list if it doens't have space available.

Instead of pulling the trucks, I modified the model so they always travel to the yard after they are created. Once they arrive, the trucks have to acquire one of the six parking spaces that are represented through a resource in the process flow.

This also has the added benefit, that you can use the statistics of the resource ("Request Content", "Request Staytime") to analyze the size of the queue of trucks.
