Introduction: why toll verification matters for fleets 

While toll verification technology is designed for a wide range of commercial vehicles, this article zeroes in on the unique needs and challenges faced by semi-truck drivers and the fleets that keep them moving. For fleet managers, tolls are a standard part of operating semi-trucks across highways and tollways. But every toll transaction comes with the possibility of errors, duplicate charges, or administrative delays. That’s where GPS toll verification from PrePass steps in—helping fleets validate toll charges, save time on back-office disputes, and keep trucks moving without unnecessary delays. 

This article explores how GPS toll verification works, why it’s essential for modern fleets, and how it helps reduce costs and streamline operations. 

Understanding the toll verification challenge 

Hidden costs of toll errors 

Even minor discrepancies in toll billing can snowball into significant expenses when multiplied across dozens or hundreds of trucks. Fleets often face: 

  • Duplicate or missing toll entries 
  • Misapplied charges to the wrong vehicle or vehicle class 
  • Administrative slowdowns while back offices dispute charges  

What is GPS toll verification? 

GPS toll verification is the ability to cross-check toll charges against GPS location data from trucks. With this capability, fleets can confirm whether a vehicle was at a specific toll location at the time of the charge. 

How PrePass brings GPS toll verification to fleets

  • Automatic cross-checking of toll charges against GPS coordinates 
  • Dispute support if billing errors occur 
  • Consolidated toll reporting across all vehicles and toll agencies
