Pre-gate
Truck Transactions
Using WebAccess, users can create Pre-gate Truck
Transactions. Once completed, the Pre-Gate Truck
Transaction will generate a PIN number that allows
a truck the opportunity to bypass the Inbound Pre-Check
lanes (Stage 1), and go directly to the Inbound
Inspection lanes (Stage 2). This service is offered
to the trucking community. Please contact John Etta
at 281-470-5584 for more details. |
