GPA Valued Customers:
On Monday, January 18, 2021, the Georgia Ports introduced a new dual chassis yard operation / process at Garden City Terminal:
7C Chassis Yard (pickup yard) – available / good order pool chassis pick up yard. Only pool chassis can be picked up from this yard. No pool chassis returns.
Mason ICTF Chassis Yard (drop yard) – any / all pool chassis returning to or being dropped at Garden City Terminal must be returned to this yard.
It has come to our attention in recent weeks that some local and over-the-road drivers are circumventing the pool chassis return process at Garden City Terminal by “dumping” a volume of bare pool chassis in the Gate 4 Internal Kiosk.
There is current signage in the Gate 4 Internal Kiosk stating that bare pool chassis cannot be dropped in this location. It has become a safety issue and we respectfully request that this practice be stopped immediately.
Effective Monday, March 8, 2021, any local or over-the-road driver found dropping a bare pool chassis on Garden City Terminal other than the Mason ICTF Chassis Yard (drop yard) will have their terminal privileges suspended for one (1) week.
We appreciate your kind cooperation as we all work together to ensure smooth terminal operations.
