About PrePass

The PrePass app provides heavy-duty truck drivers the ability to bypass weigh stations and improve highway safety. The app displays passive roadway safety alerts and weighs station bypass notifications allowing pre-cleared vehicles to continue at highway speeds without having to stop at weigh stations.

In addition, with PrePass Plus carriers can add nationwide toll payment services with the use of one transponder and the mobile app.

With PrePass, qualified commercial trucks are pre-screened electronically based on carrier safety scores and compliance with federal and state requirements. When approaching a PrePass-equipped inspection site, PrePass alerts drivers with a transponder light or mobile app visual message if the truck is cleared to stay on the road or if it needs to pull in for inspection.

Carriers have the choice of a bypass transponder or the PrePass mobile app for bypassing weigh stations. The app is available for iOS, Android, and many ELD devices. The PrePass app alerts drivers when approaching weigh stations and also includes visual and audible notifications of upcoming road hazards and events.

PrePass provides access to INFORM Safety and INFORM Tolling software. INFORM Safety compiles safety, inspection, and bypass data from the PrePass database into one location for fleet and safety managers. INFORM Safety software provides data visualizations with simple drill-downs to help quickly identify areas for improvement.

In addition to INFORM Safety, INFORM Tolling software provides more than just a summary of toll invoices and violations. The software tracks daily tolling activity and can send immediate alert notifications when toll transponders are racking up excessive tolls or suspicious transactions occur. When a toll discrepancy is discovered, fleet managers can submit and manage their disputes through the INFORM Tolling interface.

Terrible company that keeps changing even after the account is closed. I should have read more reviews before I choose this service. Never again. I rather drive through every scale house around than use your products

Pros

Product is ok but service is non-existent

Cons

I called and closed my account in February of 2022. I mailed the transponder back to them at my expense. Called to follow up and all was good and transponder had been received. Now it's August 2022 and they have turned over to collections for a past bill.

We have saved so much time and money using PrePass. Adding, Deleting and updating inventory is easy as pie.

Pros

I love that PrePass offers convenient weigh station bypass for our fleet at a rate that more than makes up for the time we would lose having to pull into every weigh station.

Cons

Whenever a transponder is activated, it takes 1-2 business days to become effective. I don't understand why that would be considering activating is an instantaneous activity and is all done off of an electronic signal - nevertheless, it is still more cost effective even if our drivers have to pull into the weigh stations the first day or two after getting a new transponder. I think it would also be nice if there didn't have to be a seperate transaction for installing a new PrePass when it comes as a part of the BestPass.

Overall our drivers have really enjoyed having the Prepass unit in the truck and the freedom it allows.
Our office staff has a much better way of reviewing the drivers use of toll roads.
As well the Prepass Elite unit has proven to make a difference in our hiring process.

Pros

Our drivers are able to get approval (green light) to move past scale houses in most cases. This saves critical time in the drivers day.
The toll pass feature insures drivers are able to quickly move through toll roads without waiting in lines to pay a toll or having to maintain paper records of each toll road usage. All records are easily accessible in the Prepass portal for driver managers to review.

Cons

The Prepass Elite pass does not have a feature to indicate to the driver that the toll pass was transmitted correctly. There is also no way for a driver to be alerted of low battery power. They are left to pull into scale houses if they do not receive an indication (green-red light) on the Prepass. Then they must assume the batteries are low and change the batteries while waiting in a line at the scale house.
