2023 WofA Partnership Opportunities
“Their job is already hard enough without dealing with commercial vehicle enforcement,” Johnson said. “When they get to bypass a weigh station, it feels like such a benefit. It’s one less thing to worry about.”
Drivewyze has partnered with Bestpass for toll coverage across major toll roads in the United States.
However, Johnson said, the main benefit of bypassing weigh stations remains the time and cost savings. “Every time you get a bypass, you’re saving time and money—and it adds up,” he said.
“When you participate in a weigh station bypass service,” Johnson said, “you’re able to take the most direct route, regardless of what inspection sites may be in your path because you know you’ve got a good chance of not having to pull in all the time.”

Improve Safety, Too
PreClear also offers a series of free safety alerts, notifying drivers of safety concerns ranging from tight curves and steep grades to low bridges. “That’s particularly helpful for drivers that may be traveling on an unfamiliar route,” Johnson said, adding that Drivewyze has mapped many thousands of these high-incident locations within North America.
Drivewyze also offers a premium safety product called Safety+, which offers a wider array of alerts, including notifications about high speed citation areas and local weather conditions, and the ability to set up custom safety notifications.
The user can set up these location-based custom alerts on a map within the Safety+ dashboard. “The safety manager can just zoom in and draw a little rectangle around where you want an alert to appear to your trucks,” Johnson said. “Whenever one of your trucks crosses that geographical area, they’ll see that custom message.” For example, the safety manager could set alerts to stay inside the truck when at the asphalt plant or to ensure the tarp is down before exiting the yard.
“We also have a dashboard tool that the safety manager has access to where they can see what’s happening with their fleet,” Johnson said. “They can see which trucks are being shown which safety alerts and how many times, as well as which ones are actually slowing down and which ones aren’t. So, for example, if they have a driver that is consistently hitting curves too tight, they can turn that data into a coachable moment.”
It’s time for an upgrade.
The next generation of Roadtec asphalt pavers is coming this March to ConExpo. See it in booth C30235.
