Motor carriers can choose from many technologies to make their operations more efficient, profitable and safe. And when it comes to bypassing the weigh station, a small investment can pay off quick and big dividends. When you consider that PrePass offers more functionality than any other weigh station bypass service provider, the benefits become even greater. Here are five important benefits your trucking business can receive with PrePass.

# 1 – Keep drivers on time.

Travel delays or the lack of freight transport create a cost to your business. According to the American Transportation Research Institute, these challenges cost you around $ 65 an hour. What’s more, the job of a truck driver is more stressful than ever. The hours of service, the lack of available parking for trucks and the long waiting times at shippers and receivers create daily uncertainties. Even a brief delay can cause a driver to be late to an appointment or force a break somewhere he had no intention of stopping. Bypassing weigh stations not only helps drivers be more productive, but also reduces stress. And anything that helps reduce stress benefits drivers.

# 2 – Save fuel and money.

Fuel is one of the biggest expenses for any haulier, so it’s always important to find ways to save on fuel costs, especially idling. According to the FMCSA, bypassing a weigh station saves an average of $ 8.68, including half a gallon of fuel. Motor carriers realize these savings because they don’t spend time idling and burning fuel at these facilities. The bypass also saves carriers money by reducing wear and tear on equipment, which means lower maintenance and equipment costs.
