Motor Carrier 360 Tour

  • Georgia Ports is pleased to provide access to a new orientation video detailing the credentialing and traffic procedures at Garden City Terminal. We ask truck drivers and other terminal users to review this in-depth visual guide to ensure everyone at GCT is moving safely.

People who regularly access Georgia Ports’ marine terminals (five port visits in a 365-day period) must have a Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) and a GPA issued identification badge. Badges issued through either the Savannah or Brunswick Credentialing Centers will be accepted at all GPA terminals. For more information, visit GPA Credentialing.

Radio Frequency Identification Tags (RFID) are required on all tractors for delivery and pick-up. An RFID tag may be obtained at the GPA Credentialing Center.

At the pedestal you will need:
