Transportation technology provider 7189 Drivewyze installed its 200th Drivewyze PreClear weigh station bypass service with the activation of the Corinth site in Mississippi, USA.

Drivewyze PreClear bypass services work at both permanent and temporary inspection locations, providing service plans catered to both short haul and long-haul carriers travelling intrastate or interstate throughout the United States.  According to Drivewyze, by matching service plans to customer profiles, it delivers bypass services to match carrier needs.

The company says the system leverages the internet to eliminate the need, cost and limitations of traditional transponders and roadside infrastructure. Data encryption, privacy and security controls ensure the protection of Drivewyze customers under a platform that extends service to many sites previously unavailable through traditional bypass programs. It also means law enforcement can extend bypass opportunities to commercial vehicles based on safety records at local, remote, interstate and mobile inspection sites.

"In just six short months we've built a bypass service network at over 200 weigh station and inspection sites. This is a major milestone for our company," said Brian Heath, president of Drivewyze. "We know this continued growth means we can increase the time, fuel and money savings for fleets, while also serving the needs of state agencies to ensure safety."

Chief Willie Huff, law enforcement director for the 1991 Mississippi Department of Transportation (DOT), Office of Enforcement stated "We are very pleased that the weigh station at Corinth, Mississippi was chosen for the 200th site. Congratulations Drivewyze."

Drivewyze works on a wide variety of tablets, smartphones and select ELDs, giving them transponder-like capability and eliminating the need for dedicated transponders in each truck. Hands-free and compliant with federal and state distracted driving regulations, the service instructs drivers to either follow road signs and pull-in or bypass using simple visual and audible instructions allowing the driver time to safely manoeuvre the vehicle.

"As one of the first fleets using Drivewyze PreClear we've seen it grow quickly," said Steve Binkley, Vice-President of Safety at Western Express based in Tennessee. "We've worked closely with Drivewyze, to ensure that we maintain driver safety while benefiting from the efficiencies of a bypass program, and so of course we want to congratulate them on achieving over 200 sites."
