Motor Carrier Registration
Only port-permitted trucks will be allowed to work at the Port of Long Beach. The port
will grant access to trucking firms that:
• Submit a completed Motor Carrier Registration and Agreement form with $250
Registration fee (if applicable)
• Register their trucks with the port through the Port Drayage Truck Registry
(PDTR)
• Meet port “clean truck” standards
• Use drivers that meet security requirements including enrollment in the federal
Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program
• Tag their vehicles with radio-frequency identification devices so the port can
monitor compliance
The Port of Long Beach program offers flexibility and choice for the trucking industry.
LMCs will be allowed to use employee drivers, independent contractor drivers, or a
combination of employee and contractor drivers – as they do now.
