24/7 Secure Access Without Staffing Headaches
Automated gates solve coverage gaps, turnover issues, and driver frustration — across DC, VA, MD and beyond.
Truck detention costs U.S. carriers $11 billion a year, much of it lost at the gate.

And for every facility manager, it starts with one simple issue — keeping the gate running.
The Gate Staffing Problem Every Site Manager Knows
Reliable gate attendants are nearly impossible to keep in today’s market. Between call-outs, turnover, and rising wages, coverage gaps are constant — and you feel it. What should be a 24/7 operation turns into a daily scramble to keep the gate open.
It’s a losing equation — one you’re paying for every single month.
Let’s put some real numbers to what that looks like.
What Are You Spending on Gate Coverage?
Typical DMV facility with part-time coverage:
Gate attendant: 25 hours/week × $21/hour = $2,275/month
+ Payroll taxes (22%) = $501/month
+ Workers comp insurance = $125-175/month
≈ $2,900 per month
…not to mention the costs of turnover, retention and burnout.
Automated gate system: starts at $299/month
Monthly savings: $2,601
Annual savings: $31,212
ROI potential: Less than 2 months
And you get 24/7 coverage instead of just 25 hours/week.
Let’s break it down from the moment a vehicle approaches your gate

Driver doesn’t stop, call, or enter code. Entry is logged with photo and timestamp.
