Within weeks, Drivewyze weigh station bypass will be at an additional 37 mobile sites and weigh stations in Mississippi, Colorado, Kentucky, Louisiana, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, West Virginia, and Virginia. Fifteen of those sites will be in Mississippi.
When the expansion is completed, these states will offer Drivewyze service at a combined total of 195 sites. Overall, in the past three years, Drivewyze PreClear weigh station bypass service has grown from 180 locations in 15 states to 611 in 35 states.
Chief Willie Huff, director of enforcement for the Mississippi Department of Transportation, said there’s a good reason why the mobile-based weigh station and inspection site bypass service has been so much in demand.
“It’s helping us to reward those truck fleets and operators with good safety records with bypass opportunities while also providing my enforcement officers and inspectors a way to prioritize their work and focus on those fleets that should be inspected,” Huff said.
The 15 new sites include six sites at three weigh station locations on U.S. Interstate 20 and on U.S. Route 78.
“By turning on Drivewyze at these three locations, we believe we can significantly reduce congestion in and around those stations particularly since we’ve seen more and more trucks equipped with active Drivewyze apps enter those stations in the past several months,” Huff said.
