The Staging Area

SPF Port Services staging area is approximately 2 miles east of the Port. All drivers wanting to enter the port that do not have a TWIC card and need to utilize a security escort, must report to this area first, before coming to the port. Here they will be able to request a security escort from our staging attendent. Exceptions to this procedure require prior arrangements with our office. We operate in the street with the permission of local authorities. For GPS purposes you may input 6000 Edison Drive, Oxnard, CA 93030.

The driver will be given instructions on all procedures related to the security escort service. He will be given a hand-out with detailed instructions and a fee schedule. He must also show a picture ID and proof of CARB Drayage for his truck (where required) before being sent to the port. If he does not posses a CARB Drayage then he will need to contact his dispatcher to have this provided to him.

We do accept faxes for CARB Drayage at (805) 986-2000. These CARB faxes are only provided to truck personnel utilizing the Security Escort Service. We also accept emails.

Our pricing for all security escort services can be found here: Pricing & Payments

Stage Area operation hours are from 7:30am-4:00pm M-F (lunch break from 11:15 – 12:45). Please note that Del Monte stops check-ins at 3:00pm for the day. PacRoRo (Wallenius Lines) stops check-ins at 3:45pm. All persons requesting security escorts after these times must call SPF Port Services to verify if these companies are willing to accept them.
