Effective next Monday 2/20 will require appointments to pick up empties. Below are instructions on how to do so provided by eModal.
“The truckers should be familiar with making empty pick appointments (e.g., ITS) and empty pick pre-advices (PCT, Pier A). For an appointment, the truckers will have to select an available date and time (based on what TraPac makes available in your slot schedule). For pre-advice terminals, they only select the desired date – and the terminal does not have the ability to set capacities or filters.
As far as what is required to make the appointment, the trucker will need to provide the booking / EDO number and the equipment type, IF that booking has more than one equipment type. (If there is only one equipment type, it will prefill for them.) Shipping line should automatically prefill for them based on the booking / EDO entered.”
