On Thursday, December 5th, 2019, TraPac Oakland hosted their very 1st Trucker Outreach Meeting.
TraPac is one of Oakland's largest Ports. Many containers funnel in and out on a daily basis. With heavy traffic and congestion, TraPac continues their ongoing efforts to improve efficiency with innovation. We, Benz Transportation, were privileged to be a part of this event. We learned many things about their current projects and future innovations of improvement. From a trucker's standpoint, it is wonderful news that a major Port is willing to take the time to meet, discuss, and review Q&A feedback with us. In everyday operations, our drivers (along with other drivers/truckers) have to wait in long lines at the in-gate, chassis areas, empty yards, trouble area, and/or out-gate. The reasons always vary depending on the day or situation...etc. TraPac understands and has implemented some enhancements to alleviate some of this. Our biggest takeaway was their modified in-gate system which would increase accuracy and resolve potential trouble related issues in a timely manner. This saves our drivers and the Port a lot of time and effort.
We would like to thank TraPac for their ongoing commitment and partnership.
