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.
