Attention Licensed Motor Carriers Serving Non-Container Terminals (Not Equipped with RFID Readers) at the San Pedro Bay Ports of
Los Angeles and Long Beach
Beginning January 1, 2012 All Drayage Trucks Serving Non-Container Terminals Must Have A 2012 Non-Container Terminal Access Sticker
In order to service the Non-Container Terminals at both ports throughout 2012, Licensed Motor Carriers (LMCs) must do the following before December 31, 2011:
· Have their drayage trucks registered in the Ports’ Drayage Truck Registry (PDTR),
· Pay the annual truck registration fee in the PDTR ($100 per truck, per port), and
· Bring their trucks to the Truck Access Center (TAC) to be inspected. Sticker application must be witnessed by TAC staff at the time of issuance
Note: Drayage trucks already equipped with an RFID tag that service both Container and Non-Container Terminals will still need to obtain a 2012 Non-Container Terminal Sticker. However, drayage trucks that have already paid the PDTR truck registration fee ($100 per truck, per port) for container terminal access will not be expected to pay an additional fee for the 2012 Non-Container Terminal Sticker.
Renewal of Annual Non-Container Terminal Access Sticker
The current 2011 Non-Container Terminal Access Sticker will expire on December 31, 2011. To renew the annual Non-Container Terminal Access Sticker, please follow the steps below:
Pay the annual truck registration fee ($100 per truck, per port) in the PDTR, and
Bring the registered truck to the TAC to receive the 2012 Non-Container Terminal Access Sticker.
Register Your Trucks in the PTDR, eModal’s Trucker Check, and the State DTR
All port drayage trucks must be registered in the PDTR, eModal’s Trucker Check, and the State DTR to secure access to the marine terminals in both the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach. Failure to register in all three will result in the truck being denied access to the ports’ marine terminals.

Final Phase Drayage Trk Ban Effective Jan 1 2012
E-Blast No. 82: Be Prepared – Final Phase of the Drayage Truck Ban Goes into
Effect January 1, 2012
Important Reminder to Licensed Motor Carriers and
Independent Owner Operators!
BE PREPARED – FINAL PHASE OF THE DRAYAGE TRUCK BAN GOES INTO EFFECT
JANUARY 1, 2012
Beginning January 1, 2012, the final phase of the Drayage Truck ban will take effect at the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach marine terminals. Port drayage trucks equipped with Engine Years 2006 and older will no longer be permitted access.
Be prepared for the January 1, 2012 ban date and make sure your port drayage truck meets the following Clean Truck Program requirements:
Truck Ban Requirements
Drayage trucks with engines that do not meet the 2007 Federal heavy-duty emissions standards will be banned from marine terminal access on January 1, 2012.
This means that drayage trucks equipped with engine years 2006 or older will be banned from marine terminal entry on January 1, 2012.
Drayage trucks equipped with engine years 1994 to 2003 are also banned from terminal entry even if they have been retrofitted with a level 3 verified diesel emission control system (VDECS). Retrofitted trucks will only have marine terminal access through December 31, 2011.
Drayage trucks with 2004 to 2006 engine years will only have access to marine terminals through December 31, 2011.
ONLY drayage trucks with 2007 and newer engine years will have access to marine terminals starting on January 1, 2012.
Verify Truck Engine Year
Licensed Motor Carriers and Independent Owner Operators with 2007 model year trucks not previously inspected must have their truck engine’s model year verified at the Truck Access Center (TAC). This requirement is necessary because the Port Drayage Truck Registry (PDTR) automatically assumes that 2007 model year trucks have engines from the previous year (2006).
Visit the TAC today and make sure your truck has the correct engine year entered into the PDTR.
The Clean Truck Fee Expires on December 31, 2011
The Clean Truck Fee (CTF) of $35 per loaded twenty-foot equivalent container unit will expire and will no longer be collected starting January 1, 2012.
Register Your Truck in the PTDR, eModal’s Trucker Check and the State DTR
All port drayage trucks must be registered in the PDTR, eModal’s Trucker Check, and the State DTR to secure access to the marine terminals in both the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach.

APM updates

In addition to the previous advisory regarding our out-gate policy, please note the following and please pass this information to your drivers:
Effective immediately drivers queuing up at the out-gate earlier than 5 p.m. will be forced to exit the facility. In addition, these drivers will be required to complete the STEP class before they are allowed to return to the terminal. Please note repeat offenders will be banned from Pier 400.
Keep in mind we provide the added service of remaining open between 5 and 6 p.m. to assist the trucking community by allowing entry to the terminal during this hour and be ready to out-gate at 6:01 (avoiding the TMF fee).
Recently however we have experienced an excessive amount of drivers queuing up at the out-gate as early as 3:30-4 p.m. This causes an excessive amount of traffic and blocks drivers that have paid the TMF fee from exiting the facility.
Please note our Customer Service Team can be reached at 310-221-4496.

This is to remind you that the L.A. Port Police will continue to enforce “No Parking” ordinances on public streets, including the approach to Pier 400 on Navy Way. Concurrently, we have observed numerous drivers attempting to enter the terminal before their scheduled appointment (30 minutes prior to the appointment is the allowed) . This activity results in additional congestion at the terminal gate. Drivers arriving early for their appointment will be escorted out of the terminal.
