The Technology Backbone of STEP
ZDEVCO’s PortTrak platform with its DrayLink carrier self-service portal is the technology backbone of the Port of Oakland’s Secure Truck Enrollment Program (STEP) — a mandatory enrollment program for all trucks and Licensed Motor Carriers (LMCs) serving Oakland Seaport facilities. STEP is a key component of the Port’s Comprehensive Truck Management Program (CTMP), funded by California Proposition 1B (voter-approved 2006).
Two Integrated Systems
- Drayage Truck Registry (DTR) — web-accessible registration system capturing LMC, truck, and driver data with secure credential issuance
- Truck Asset Management System (TMS) — operations data repository providing real-time visibility into transit movements and port entry/exit events
Scale & Track Record
Since its Spring 2010 launch, the system has enrolled 5,000+ trucks within the first six months and now manages 420+ Licensed Motor Carriers with 1.2M+ annual port entries tracked. The live portal at oakportregistry.com has been operated continuously by ZDEVCO for 16+ years — making it the longest-running drayage truck registry program in the United States.

Carrier Self-Service
