How Truckers Can Get PrePass

PrePass is a weigh station bypass service that allows commercial truck drivers to avoid stopping at weigh stations and save time on the road. This service is available to truckers who have been pre-approved through a rigorous vetting process and are equipped with the necessary technology. In this article, we will discuss the steps that truckers can take to get a PrePass and take advantage of this valuable service.

Eligibility Requirements

Meet the eligibility requirements The first step in getting a PrePass is to ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements. To be eligible, you must have a valid commercial driver’s license (CDL) and a clean safety record. Additionally, you must have a compliant vehicle that is equipped with the necessary technology, such as a PrePass transponder and an electronic logging device (ELD).

Sign up

Sign up for PrePass services Once you have confirmed that you meet the eligibility requirements, you can sign up for PrePass services. The sign-up process is quick and easy, and can be done online or over the phone. During the sign-up process, you will be required to provide some basic information, such as your CDL number, vehicle information, and contact information.

Install

Install the necessary technology After signing up for PrePass, you will need to install the necessary technology on your vehicle. This includes a PrePass transponder, which is a small device that is placed on the windshield of your truck. The transponder communicates with weigh station equipment and allows you to bypass weigh stations without stopping. You will also need to install an ELD, which is a device that records your hours of service and vehicle movements.

Safety and Compliance Check

Pass a safety and compliance check After installing the necessary technology, you will be required to pass a safety and compliance check. This check is conducted by PrePass and is designed to ensure that your vehicle meets the required safety and compliance standards. If your vehicle passes the check, you will be approved for PrePass services and can start using the service immediately.

Take advantage of Prepass

When you approach a weigh station, the PrePass transponder will communicate with the weigh station equipment and, if everything checks out, you will be allowed to bypass the weigh station without stopping. This will save you time and increase your productivity on the road.
