Help, the provider of the PrePass commercial vehicle bypass service, and 69 International Road Dynamics (IRD), the administrator of North Carolina’s NCPass, have reached an agreement to provide PrePass users with the benefits of bypassing at weigh stations located at Hillsborough, North Carolina.

More than a half million trucks from over 44,000 fleets are currently enrolled in PrePass, saving time, fuel and money.
 
According to the companies, since 1997, PrePass has provided over 647 million actual truck bypasses, saving carriers more than 53 million hours in time and over 258 million gallons of fuel, resulting in more than US$4.6 billion in operational costs.
 
"It is exciting to have this opportunity to expand PrePass into North Carolina, which adds an important state for all those fleets and drivers that travel through the southeast," said Karen Rasmussen, president and CEO of Help.
 
"We are very pleased to expand NCPass to include PrePass and are excited about the opportunity to work with the HELP team while jointly delivering improved service to the State of North Carolina," commented Terry Bergan, president and CEO of IRD.
