Why no PrePass

I like it. Especially if you get the green light at some of the more evil places in California.

Sometimes I think late at night or wee hours of the morning they shut it off at coups simply because they are bored.

 

We don't have them because we don't go out of state often enough. We have one scale that we have to deal with and that is only on the north way, which we don't go often. Not worth the cost if we don't use it.

 

There was a line of 20 trucks near New Mexico border , half the trucks passed me earlier and I got the Green light and bypassed that long ### line .

 

What are you trying to hide?

 

Oh...I am not gonna say.

 

17.65 a month prepass only. Saves time and haszle. No extras

 

This year I got the Elite pass, prepass +tolls. Don't know how I survived without it. They run your DOT before signing up, let you know the % of you bypassing scales. Mine was 95%, well worth it.

 

Doesn't it require a GPS signal? I can only imagine why a driver might not want Johnny Law to know at what time he was in a specific location.

 

With all the cameras at the weigh stations, having a transponder is not going to make a difference in tracking. With ELD's it's a completely moot point.

We use Norpass, and it's been the best motivator for our driver to keep his lights working and his mudflaps tight. Every time he gets a ding on an inspection, they pull him into every dam scale on the route for several months. He's a believer now in keeping things ship-shape. Truck even gets washed every week now.

 

I love my PrePass. It was $15 a month until I added the tolls also. It's $24.15 a month now. No sweat. I'm a one truck company & it benefits me a lot.

Has nothing to do with getting a bypass because of a subscription. It's a reward for having a good safety rating & doing things the right way. No need to cross a scale regularly but I do get a red light about 1 in 10 times just to keep me honest.
