What is PGT?

Precision Gating Technology (PGT) works with our UPGo app to "Fast Gate" — allowing drivers to bypass the kiosk upon entering our intermodal terminals. Using advanced "machine vision", PGT will scan your equipment and automatically begin the in-gate process and match it to a UPGo event.
