Ahmed,

On the source object you can change the flowitem class to "Truck". This is a taskexecuter type flowitem that you can use to travel on networks. You can then use a different shape that does not include the trailer if you want to have it pick that up later. If by "container" you mean a shipping container then you can use a shape that has an empty container trailer.

No. Use the GatePlanner if you want trucks to arrive to load containers from the Yard.

To my knowledge, gate planner can not be to specify the arrival disribution , interarrival time or set a schedule for arriving trucks
