Drivewyze weigh station bypass service reactivated along I-44, I-70 through Missouri
THE TRUCKER NEWS SERVICES
DALLAS — Drivewyze PreClear weigh
station bypass has expanded its service along
Interstate 44 and Interstate 70 through Missouri
with the re-activation of six bypass sites.
Those join two existing bypass locations
the company already has operational near Joplin
on I-44 east and westbound.
Activation of the weigh station bypass
sites began following the installation and
calibration of new weigh-in-motion sensors
embedded in the roadway.
“Missouri is a key state in the Drivewyze
network, and with our sites now reactivated,
we’ve unlocked further coast-to-coast bypass
opportunities for drivers,” said Brian Heath,
president and CEO of Drivewyze. “This is
great news for our customers, and for other
carriers that have been anticipating the reactivation
of the Drivewyze service in the
state. The Drivewyze network offers bypass
opportunities at more than twice as many
sites as any other provider. For years, the bypass
market was underserved; Drivewyze is
on a mission to change that. There has never
been a better time for carriers to adopt this
high-value service or to switch from old transponder-based
systems. If you do the math,
it’s an easy choice. More bypasses not only
improve a carrier’s bottom line, they make a
positive impact on drivers’ lives.”
The six newly activated Drivewyze sites
are located in Foristell, Mayview and St.
Clair (both east and westbound). Foristell is
on I-70 west of St. Louis (between St. Louis
and Kansas City); Mayview is on I-70 east
of Kansas City (between St. Louis and KC);
and St. Clair is on I-44 southwest of St. Louis
between Springfield and St. Louis.
The sites are located on the main arteries
of Missouri, accounting for the majority of
all truck traffic.
“We are pleased to have restored services
in Missouri and will continue to fulfill the
terms of our long-term partnership with the
show-me state,” Heath said. “Missouri is a
key state in the national transportation network
and we know that restoring these sites
back to full operation is welcome news for
drivers and fleets.”
With the Drivewyze PreClear weigh
station bypass service on their Drivewyzeenabled
smartphones, tablets and electronic
logging devices, customers can now receive
bypass opportunities at more than 700 locations
in 43 states and provinces.
“A significant amount of regional intermodal
freight moves to and from the four
intermodal facilities in Kansas City,” Heath
said. Plus, more than 180 trucking companies
call Joplin home, with I-44 being one
of two major routes connecting the Joplin
region. Missouri is a major state for trucking
and we are here to help them.”

bypass application is available on a number
