Port System Change Creates Problems for Trucks

The Agriculture Transportation Coalition (AgTC) reports a PierPass crisis in Long Beach has left trucks idling along Southern California’s freeways because a PierPass malfunction is stopping them from getting through the port gates. The port recently changed both its computer system and the company that operates it and, despite weeks of testing, glitches and errors have caused delays. An online message from the AgTC contains helpful information to alleviate problems.
