“I love the RAPIDGate Program! It has saved me two to three hours of wait time compared to when I had to stand in line at the Contractors Gate. That’s money I’m saving. At Fort Bliss, I used to have to wait hours just to get a badge, now it’s only a few minutes to enter the facility, if any. I feel like a soldier when I access the base with my RAPIDGate badge!”

- Raymond Dezik, 400 HZ Repair, White Sands Missile Range

“The RAPIDGate Program is fantastic. It makes our working time more efficient. We don’t have to wait in line anymore like all the rest of the cars because we have been checked through RAPIDGate. Having the badges has saved the company money and time. I would definitely recommend this program to all contractors. As a matter of fact, we’re waiting for more bases to install the program.”

- Anabella Perez, E & C Insulation, Inc., Fort Lee

“The RAPIDGate staff has been very friendly. They’ve walked me through all the steps of how to get set up, making it easier for me to get on the base. My wait time has been great. All I have to do is drive right up to the gate and I’m in. I would definitely recommend this program to all contractors. They’re foolish not to have already enrolled with the RAPIDGate program!”

- William Doss, DEMCO New York Corporation, Fort Drum

“It depends on traffic but it takes us about a minute or less to get through the gate and we’re on our way. Our employees are really pleased with it. It’s certainly saved us money. We have to pay our employees from the time they get to the gate. So, if they spend 30 to 45 minutes waiting in line instead of getting to the job site, we lose money. It pays for itself; there is no doubt about that!”

 - Bill Tuten, Berwick Electric

"The word from the field is its absolutely much quicker and we should have done it much sooner. We used to have to get a business pass which is only good for three months and had to be renewed. Renewal could take up to an hour or an hour and a half out of our day, depending on the lines. With the business pass we could only get into a couple gates, not the front gate. Most of our work is near the front gate so that fact alone was worth signing up. It’s saved us a lot of time everyday in that respect! It’s much more efficient!"

 - Patrick Charmichael, Project Manager, Surecoat, Inc.

"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 theirRAPIDGate 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.

"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."
