More and more people are downloading the GPA Trucker mobile application. Since its launch in October 2025, the number of users has increased from fewer than 900 to over 4,000 truckers, according to the Georgia Ports Authority.
"We are pleased to see the trucking community using the app to optimize the driver experience. Truckers are our primary customers. Faster turnaround times for them make our entire port operation more productive," stated Griff Lynch, GPA President and CEO.
The GPA Trucker app provides the location of containers in the terminal and sends push notifications when digital access tickets are issued, reducing the need for paper documents at terminal gates. This mobile application aims to streamline truck movement at one of the country's busiest container ports.
Precise Container Location
The app now allows drivers to see their location in the terminal relative to the position of the containers, helping them navigate the port facilities more efficiently. It also identifies the terminal gate closest to the container, reducing driving time within the port.
According to the authority, Savannah terminals handle over 14,000 truck movements on an average workday between 4:00 AM and 6:00 PM. The average waiting time for trucks is 32 minutes for a single transaction and 50 minutes for double moves, which include export deliveries and import pickups.
Lynch stated that these reduced turnaround times allow many drivers serving local warehouses to complete between six and eight trips a day, maintaining predictable schedules.
The app also simplifies the use of Personal Identification Numbers (PINs), which Georgia Ports uses to track container transactions. Traditionally, drivers would provide the PIN to receive a printed voucher at the gate, indicating where a container could be picked up or delivered. PINs are valid for 72 hours.
