Drivewyze and Bestpass partnership aims to help fleets control toll costs. The collaboration includes a free report based on GPS data to show companies’ tolling pain points. Connected truck services and weigh station bypass provider Drivewyze is teaming up with toll payment and management provider Bestpass to help fleets manage tolling pain points.
Brian Heath, Drivewyze chief executive, said: “We’re now offering an on-demand report that will allow a fleet to reference whether or not there’s any truth to a suspected overcharge, or a suspected violation, or a suspected case of fraud that hit the bottom line.”

Brian Heath (Drivewyze CEO) explained that fleets can request a toll trip report based on their edge processing system for current and non-current customers. The technology collects GPS cookie data to detect toll road entry and exit events, helping fleets investigate violations, over-charging, and fraud incidents. With Bestpass’s toll data collection, fleets can detect inaccurate tolling costs and deliver notifications to drivers using Drivewyze Safety+ to improve the driver experience and control costs.
Bestpass
Fleets don’t need to be customers of Drivewyze or Bestpass to request a toll trip report; they just need to agree to activate Drivewyze analytics on a compatible ELD. Tom Fogarty, Bestpass CEO, said the partnership offers prospects a “seamless solution in a box” to their toll management and weigh station bypass challenges.
Heath noted that fleets can benefit from the free tool report and introduction to their respective services, with the aim of impacting the industry at large. Drivewyze offers PreClear weigh station bypass services at 840+ sites in 45 states/provinces, plus Drivewyze Safety+, in-cab toll road notifications, and driver-coaching services. Bestpass works with 50+ tolling authorities across the US, providing a payment platform with solutions for major toll roads. Fleets that adopted Bestpass have seen their tolling violations fall by 80%+. This partnership will enable data collaboration to make toll management easier.
Drivewyze’s system uses ELDs to pass alerts and messages to truck drivers. Partners are also collaborating to provide fleets with a smooth onboarding process and driver experience regardless of whether they are Drivewyze customers adopting Bestpass services, Bestpass customers adopting Drivewyze or new customers of both. According to Fogarty, “Fleets can access these savings quickly. Paying the tolls is a big portion of the budget, but it’s the efficiency and safety indicators that bring true ROI, saving time and money.”
