The Port is developing a computerized PortCheck system -- similar to the existing PierPass system -- that will enable the collection of Clean Trucks Fees from cargo owners. The fees will help finance leases and loans to assist truckers in obtaining clean trucks. The Port will begin collecting the fee as soon as the computer system is operational, which is expected to be a few weeks after October 1.
Cargo owners are encouraged to register with PortCheck (www.portcheck.org) or PierPass (www.pierpass-tmf.org) immediately in order to claim their cargo when the Port begins assessing the fee.
To ensure that your cargo is not delayed, the Port of Long Beach urges all beneficial cargo owners (BCOs) to verify that the Licensed Motor Carriers that haul their cargo have a Port-approved concession. Trucks not associated with a valid concessionaire will be turned away at the gates.
In order to assist BCOs, the Port of Long Beach has posted lists of the LMCs that have applied for and have received preliminary approval for operating concessions. These lists, which will be updated regularly, can be accessed and downloaded here (http://www.polb.com/concessionlog).
