Dear Intermodal Customer,

Union Pacific continues to enhance its intermodal terminals. In recent months, our Port Laredo Intermodal Terminal has been undergoing several structural improvements. We are pleased to announce that the terminal will also be equipped with state-of-the-art technology systems, including an Automatic Gate System (AGS) with biometric recognition that will improve driver experience.

As we prepare for implementation of AGS, we need your assistance. Over the next several weeks please have each of your drivers that enter the Union Pacific Port Laredo Terminal stop into the help office for driver pre-registration. The pre-registration will record drivers license information as well as biometric scanning. Drivers will also need their CDL# and SCAC code. Pre-registration will be available from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The pre-registration process is very short and your drivers should not anticipate long delays. By registering early you can ensure that drivers move quickly through the gate when the system goes live in early November.
Driver registration will begin at the terminal on Thursday, August 24, 2017.
Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to Union Pacific Railroad.
If you have any questions, please contact your Business Representative.
Sincerely,
Intermodal Business Team
