Gate rules and fees
Drayage Truck Registry (DTR) via PortTruckPass + RFID tag
Every Class 8 drayage truck entering a PANYNJ marine terminal must be registered in the DTR through PortTruckPass and carry one valid RFID tag mounted on the driver-side mirror; one tag per truck, a second tag read at the gate means denial. No tag, no entry.
