Drayage Community,
As a reminder, at TraPac LAX, the eModal platform allows a trucking company to request an appointment reservation before the container is available; This is known as an “Advance Reservation Request.” Using this feature, you are guaranteed an appointment within your free time. For the Advance PreGate to be successful, you must request an Advance PreGate before the import discharges the vessel.
This tool can be extremely helpful in assisting you with securing an appointment upon discharge and within your free time and is strongly recommended, as appointments often fill up within 24-48 hours of being released.
Below is a detailed link (with pictures) on how to set up an Advanced Reservation Request.

Please let us know if you have any questions regarding this feature.
Thanks,
TraPac Management
