• Terminal operators continue to monitor trouble tickets at selected terminals.  Our reports on this effort can be found at www.pierpass.org. Terminal operators feel that trouble tickets generated due to a lack of information or incorrect information provided by the truck driver detract from the driver and terminal efficiency and increase the driver’s in-terminal turn times.  Please take a moment to review our reports on this topic.

Trouble Tickets

Terminal operators are monitoring trouble ticket traffic at several different terminals.  In the coming weeks we will be sharing some trouble ticket numbers and suggestions for improvement with the stakeholder community as a result of that review.

Trouble Tickets

Marine Terminal Operators see the many trouble tickets that are generated each day as trucks attempt to deliver or pick up containers as something that could be reduced in numbers and therefore have a positive effect on the truck turn time. PierPass will be working with terminal operators on identifying common, reoccurring trouble tickets and recommending ways to improve them. Trucking companies are encouraged to check booking numbers and container availability in the individual terminal system to make sure of availability before sending a truck to the terminal.
