Please be advised that our truck gate evening hours are as follows:

Monday 06:00 to 16:00, Tuesday to Friday 06:00 to 23:00

After consultation with various stakeholders we have decided to maintain the extended gate hours.

2006/09/22
On July 24th 2006, we advised that the evening shift would be maintained until October 1st, 2006.

Today, we are advising you that the evening shift will be maintained until October 27, 2006 due to continuing repairs to the pavement at the Terminals.

Thus, our usual services will be maintained after 16h00 hours until October 27 2006.

2006/09/21
Please note that effective Monday, September 25th , 2006, Montreal Gateway Terminals (MGT) will be modifying our empty container reception procedures, opening container doors at our gates will no longer be necessary.

Will continue to inspect containers for exterior damages. This modification will contribute to a quicker passage of trucks through our gates. When an empty container arrives at our gates truck drivers will be asked to complete a form outlining the container number, line operator and equipment type, on this form the driver will certify that in compliance to conditions set in the importer's bill of lading; in short: the driver is returning an empty container from an importer's facility exempt of any cargo residues, dunnage packaging etc...

This form will clearly establish that it is the truckers' responsibility to make sure that the returned container is in "ready-to-use" condition and that cleaning costs may be assessed and charged to remedy the situation. Upon printing the Terminal Interchange Receipt (TIR) MGT staff at the counter will supply a seal to the driver; he is expected to seal the empty container before entering the terminal. Our gate checker will report the seal number and inspect the container for any visible exterior damages.

In the event that upon delivery of a sealed empty container it is determined that it is not in a "ready-to-use" condition we will segregate the unfit containers, advise the delinquent trucker and clean the container. Cleaning costs will be assessed and charged as warranted

On June 30th 2006, we announced the suspension of the evening shift in the Trucking department starting on August 1st, 2006.

Today,we are advising you that the evening shift will be maintained until October 1st, 2006 due to the fact that repairs to the pavement at the Terminals will affect the traffic flow over the next couple of months.

Thus, our usual services will be maintained after 16h00 hours until October 1st, 2006.

2006/06/30
On April 25th 2005, Cast and Racine Terminals introduced a program that extended truck gate hours to 23h00. The main objective of this initiative was to provide the opportunity to importers and exporters to move their containers during off-peak daytime hours when the Port and local roadways and normally less congested.

It has now been a little over one year since the introduction of the extended gate hours and disappointingly the level of activity is significantly below what is necessary to sustain this service. Consequently, effective August 1, 2006 we will no longer continue to keep our truck gates open after 16h00.

Our gates will be open Monday to Friday from 06h00 to 16h00.

Rest assured we will continue to monitor truck turn around time to ensure that we continue to provide the trucking community with the high level of service that you have become accustomed to.

2006/05/01
Effective May 1st, 2006, from 16:00 hrs until midnight, all Montreal Gateway Terminals interchange receipts (TIRs) will be processed at Section 77, Port of Montreal (Cast Terminal).

TIRs will no longer be processed at Section 62, Port of Montreal (Racine Terminal) after 16:00 hrs. Please advise your drivers accordingly.

Once the TIR has been completed, the driver will no longer need to present himself at Section 62 Trucking Department. He will immediately proceed through to the gate verification process.
