CSA scores = NO PREPASS?

Pre pass can track all the movement, speed and time. I say no thanks!

 

doesn't qualcomm do the same ?

 

Yop.....

Only time it would be worth it

 

Yes but not linked to the government DOT, pre pass is a government owned and operated system. Think Qualcomm by the DOT.

 

You guys are way off. Prepass is a privately owned entity that contracts with specific states for their services. It CAN NOT be used against your log book, that's part of the agreement. Norpass (the other service like Prepass) can be used against your log book.

The state of Oregon tried to get Prepass records on a driver a few years ago and even took it to court and LOST. One Prepass scale can not even see if you have been though another, they are not linked.

 

i hate to tell u but i think u got some BAD info, cause the dot WILL use pre pass against ur log book, i've already went through 6 inspections (utah, washington, oregon, wyoming, colorado, nebraska) & have matched my logs back to pre pass & each time u go through scales in alot of states they put in ur VIN on ur truck to identify when u went through. even if as u say that was the agreement that u say was to happen, well, it sure isn't happening that way & will continue

 

"PrePass does not retain any timestamp information that could be used for enforcement purposes."

That is a direct quote from the Prepass web site. The scales keeping track of your VIN have nothing to do with Prepass. Colorado has been tracking VIN's for years, and it has nothing to do with Prepass, they track everyone. In Washington they have cameras at the scales to photograph your truck as you go through, again it has nothing to do with Prepass.

Just so you know, Washington and Oregon are not even Prepass states. They use Norpass. Norpass does not have an agreement to protect your information and CAN be used against your log book.

 

May be off topic but an FYI non the less.

I was in the coop at Blythe when a truck with Pre-Pass went by (obviously had a red light). The cop looked up and saw him go by, he said "we'll stop him at Banning". He then proceeded to type something on his PC. Of course I inquired about how they would get him. He said "red flag his Pre-Pass". They have more CHP officers at Banning so if he stops they will look at his log book to determine if he was the one driving at Blythe. Of course if he blows the Banning coop then they have enough officers to go chase him down.

 

Oregon is a prepass
