Gate rules and fees
RFID tag on tractors
Every tractor making a pickup or delivery at GPA terminals needs an RFID tag, issued by the GPA Credentialing Center. No price is published on the page.

GPA credential (badge) plus TWIC
Initial badge free; $25 to replace a lost badge (2026)
Anyone entering GPA terminals regularly (5 visits in 365 days), truck drivers included, needs both a TWIC and a GPA-issued badge. Badges from the Savannah or Brunswick credentialing centers work at all GPA terminals. A TWIC is not needed at lanes that use facial recognition, but it is needed to enroll. Occasional visitors can get a daily pass at the gate.

Company registration and WebAccess
A motor carrier registers its company on gaports.com before its drivers can request badges, and requests a separate WebAccess login for container status. GPA also points new carriers to a SCAC code and UIIA participation.

Container PIN at the gate
Drivers enter a container PIN at the gate pedestal, along with the tractor plate, trucking company, load/empty status, steamship line and booking, container or EDO number. PINs are valid for 72 hours. GPA's free GPA Trucker app (launched 2025) shows the gate closest to the container and flags expired PINs.
