Gate management
Gate in and gate out, on one guided screen.
Find the booked visit, check the papers, pick a spot, hold to check in. On the way out, the trailer, plate and carrier are checked against what arrived.
From the truck's arrival
One tap finds the booking. The papers are captured and checked.
Booked or walk-in, the gate starts from the same screen. The bill of lading is read and the gate confirms it before the truck moves on.

The arrival pass
The driver shows a pass. The gate scans it once.
A one-time pass with an 8-character code and a QR goes to the booked driver. The gate scans it or types the code. Five wrong codes lock it for 15 minutes, and a supervisor override needs a saved reason.

In depth
Gate management, explained.
Gate in
A guided gate check-in
Gate in is one guided screen for booked and walk-in trucks: find the booked visit, check the papers, record the facts, confirm the driver, inspect, pick a spot, and hold to check in. The guard does not retype what the carrier already entered at booking.
Driver arrival pass
How the driver arrival pass works
When a carrier books a visit and enters the driver's name, phone and e-mail, floDock sends that driver a one-time pass with an 8-character code and a QR. The gate scans the QR or types the code. Each pass works once.
- A yard can set the pass to off, optional or required.
- Five wrong codes lock the pass for 15 minutes.
- A supervisor can admit a truck without a pass, and the reason is saved on the visit.
- Every send, scan, refusal and override is logged.
- No signal at the gate? The guard can type the code from the driver's e-mail.
Gate out
Checking out against what arrived
At check-out the trailer, plate and carrier are matched to what came in. A different trailer or an unknown plate is a stop. The visit closes with a departure receipt, and the dwell charge is frozen at that moment.
The record
What the gate leaves on the record
This is the record a claim or an audit later relies on.
- Who arrived: driver, carrier, plate and trailer, with time stamps at gate in and gate out.
- Arrival condition photos and seal numbers.
- The papers, including the bill of lading attached to the visit.
- Any supervisor override, with its reason.
Questions
Straight answers, in full.
What is checked at the gate?
The truck, carrier and driver are matched to the booking, the papers are read by AI and confirmed by the guard, the carrier is checked against FMCSA records, and the driver can show a one-time arrival pass.
How does the arrival pass work?
The booked driver gets an 8-character code and a QR by e-mail. The gate scans it or types the code, and it works once. A yard can set it to off, optional or required, and five wrong codes lock it for 15 minutes.
What if a driver has no pass?
A supervisor can let the truck in with a reason, and the reason is saved on the visit.
What is gate management in a yard?
It is check-in, validation, document capture, and gate-out for trucks entering and leaving the yard — the step before staging and dock work begins.
How is gate management different from yard management?
Gate management is one step. Yard management connects that gate capture to the yard map, dock assignment, dwell tracking, and closeout on the same visit.
Can carriers see gate-in and gate-out?
Yes. On floDock Partners, carriers follow the same visit lifecycle the yard uses — without calling the gate for every update.
