tations issued led to a 0.28 percent decline in motor vehicle
crashes. The ticketing campaign also reduced the number
of nonfatal injuries from motor vehicle crashes.
As unpopular as traffic citations are among drivers, we
know that driver behavior does respond to contacts with law
enforcement and warnings and citations,” Thompson said.
“Roadway safety is our top priority and this traffic enforcement
initiative supports our goal of making sure everyone
driving on our roadways is doing so safely.”

DRIVEWYZE
COMPLETES WEIGH
STATION BYPASS COVERAGE
THROUGHOUT MISSOURI
Drivewyze has completed 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 return on investment
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 Missouri
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
Kansas City 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,”
Heath said. “With hundreds of trucking companies based
in the state, we are pleased to offer statewide 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 drivers’ 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 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, 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.
