Relocation of Reefer Temperature Check Service Area at VIG

Posted on July 29, 2020 · Posted in TMTA Flash

The VPA has issued the following:

Trucking Partners,

At Virginia International Gateway (VIG), we are pleased to announce an important change in the handling of refrigerated/reefer containers.

Effective Monday, July 20, 2020, reefer temperature checks will be relocated:

When bringing in a loaded reefer for export, drivers will proceed to lane 4 (southernmost lane), under the Chassis Service Area (CSA) canopy, to have their reefer temperature checked (see image below)
When directed, the driver will pull forward under the canopy, stopping before the lowered gate arm, to receive service
Over-the-road drivers must remain inside the cab, with the truck in PARK, while being serviced
Drivers may depart as directed by the terminal team, once the gate arm is raised
When the temperature check is completed, the driver will traverse through the CSA and queue up in the existing genset mount/dis-mount lanes

If you, or your drivers, have questions about this change, please contact our Customer Service Team at 757-440-7160, or povcustomerservice@vit.org.

Thank you for your business.
