testimonials from participating companies
Productivity-minded companies nationwide are saving time and money while improving customer service through RAPIDGate® Program.
"At Lile Moving and Storage, we’re moving military personnel on and
off Ft. Lewis all the time. Most government business is done by the
pound, not the hour, so every 15 minutes my crew waits is simply money
lost. The RAPIDGate Program helps us get right in the gate,
instead of waiting in line at the Logistics Center. I’m also going in
and out of Ft Lewis all the time, doing surveys. At [another
installation], it takes me 10 to 30 minutes every time I go through the
gate, which wastes my time. At Ft. Lewis, I can get right in and give
better customer service using the RAPIDGate Program."
- M. Lesmeister, Lile Moving and Storage
"Without the RAPIDGate
Program, it would take 90 minutes just to get a pass and clear the
gate. This is not acceptable; we really don’t want our trucks
parked outside a gate. Using their RAPIDGate badges, our drivers get right through. We have about 50 RAPIDGate
badgeholders, and they really like the program. It is a real
blessing for me and the drivers. The program saves time, is more
convenient, and helps our company serve the Army better."
- T. McClure, Mercer Transportation Company
"RAPIDGate
is having a very positive impact on our bottom line. Since we make
daily trips on post, we're saving time and bypassing the long waits and
inspections at the commercial gates. We estimate saving thousands of
hours, totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars per year thanks to RAPIDGate."
- D. Unkur, Skookum Sanitation, Inc.
"Having RAPIDGate
sure beats waiting at the gates or the Visitor Center for hours at a
time. We are very satisfied with the program and our improved access."
- M. Kelly, Pfizer Regional Coordinator
"Before we signed up for RAPIDGate, service routes with a stop on base were unproductive for half the day. With the time we save using RAPIDGate,
our crews are now able to make 3-4 additional calls per day on the same
route. That translates into hundreds of dollars daily."
- Delivery Company Representative
"Before we got into the RAPIDGate
Program, we had to wait in line at the Commercial Vehicle Inspection
Point (CVIP) with everyone else; now our vehicles have access to
multiple gates at the facility, and we cut hours off every visit. For
us, that translates into thousands of dollars every week."
- H. LeMay, General Contractor
"When
facility security was tightened, our drivers spent so much time in
lines, it took all the profit out of doing business on the facility. RAPIDGate literally saved our account with the military. It's made all the difference."
