Drivewyze Completes Weigh Station Installations in Missouri, Now Fully Deployed at 19 Locations

Drivewyze weigh station bypass service is now fully operational in the state of Missouri

DALLAS, April 18, 2019 - Drivewyze Inc., has announced the completion of its service site rollout in Missouri at all 19 weigh stations across the state. Drivewyze PreClear weigh station bypass is now operational at all Missouri locations, delivering weigh station bypass opportunities to its customers driving in the state.

"Our bypass service network is second to none in Missouri," said Brian Heath, president and CEO of Drivewyze. "Drivewyze is the largest provider of weigh station bypass service by a factor of almost two -- with more than 750 service sites in North America. By providing more bypass opportunities than our competitors, we enable our customers to earn a higher safety ROI than anyone else in the industry. The time has never been better for carriers to adopt weigh station bypass, or switch away from transponder-based systems. Now, they can maximize our bypass services in Missouri and enjoy the same extended coverage of our transponder-free services offer across the country."


The final four activated Drivewyze sites are located in Kearney (northbound), Platte City (northbound), and Willow Springs (both east and westbound). Kearney is on I-35, northeast of Kansas City (between KC and Des Moines, Iowa); Platte City is on I-29, northwest of Kansas City (between KC and Omaha, Nebraska); and Willow Springs is on Highway 60/63, southeast of Springfield.

"Missouri is a centralized state in the U.S., home to major trucking lanes connecting the west and east coasts," said Heath. "With hundreds of trucking companies based in the state, we are pleased to offer state-wide services to all carriers operating in Missouri, as well as those passing through. This is another step forward for Drivewyze - and our customers - and we look forward to continue revolutionizing the freight industry with world-class service and technology. More bypasses not only improve a carrier's bottom line, it makes a positive impact on driver's lives."

Carriers can eliminate the cost and administration of traditional transponders with Drivewyze. The Drivewyze PreClear weigh station bypass service is integrated with existing in-cab equipment like electronic logging devices, smartphones, tablets and other in-cab telematics systems. Customers can now receive bypass opportunities in 42 states and two Canadian provinces.

The Drivewyze PreClear weigh station bypass application is available on a number of Drivewyze partner platforms, including Omnitracs, Orbcomm, PeopleNet, Transflo, Rand McNally, Zonar, Platform Science, ISSAC and Switchboard. The application is also available for drivers to download on Android and iOS-based tablets or smartphones.

Fleets can request a free weigh station activity report to help them determine how much time and money they could save by using Drivewyze PreClear.

Drivewyze comes with a free Weigh Station Heads-Up service for real-time notifications at more than 1,200 weigh stations and inspection sites nationwide. To learn more about Drivewyze, please visit www.drivewyze.com.
