Omnitracs, LLC, a Solera company, today announced that it has entered into a partnership with PrePass Safety Alliance to provide PrePass on its Omnitracs One platform. Fleets that access the PrePass application will be able to bypass weigh stations – improving driver satisfaction with fewer inspection stops and exceeding customer expectations with faster load delivery, while reducing bottom-line costs associated with idling time and fuel usage.
Press ReleasePrePass customers now have another option when it comes to receiving weigh station bypass notifications and green lights, saving them more time and money than ever before. With an active PrePass account, users of Garmin’s latest series of dēzl over-the-road truck navigators, now receive on-screen, crucial PrePass notifications of upcoming weigh stations and bypass decisions on the same screen as their navigation and route guidance. This includes Garmin’s dēzl OTR700, OTR800, OTR1000 models and its new OTR500 model.
Press ReleasePrePass carriers now have even more opportunities to save time and money in Missouri. PrePass Safety Alliance recently completed expansion of the bypass app service to 19 locations operated by Missouri Department of Transportation. The PrePass app gives qualified carriers the option to expand bypass opportunities using iOS, Android and select telematics mobile devices, with or without the PrePass transponder.
Press ReleaseA new federal audit finds that many state driver licensing agencies are not quickly sharing information about traffic convictions by Commercial Driver’s License holders. Auditors also found that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is not properly conducting oversight of state CDL programs, as required by federal law. The Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Transportation conducted the audit between November 2019 and May 2021.
BlogMotor carriers will benefit from this new partnership between PrePass Safety Alliance and Omnitracs LLC by receiving PrePass bypass and safety notifications on Omnitracs One enabled devices. This saves fleets time and money by keeping their drivers on the road, reducing bottom-line costs associated with idling time and fuel usage.
BlogUnder the FMCSA proposal, the area in which carriers can mount vehicle safety technologies inside a truck windshield would expand from four inches to eight and a half inches below the upper edge of the area swept by the windshield wipers. The other parameters would not change. FMCSA points out that this expanded area for mounting vehicle safety technologies coincides with temporary exemptions already granted for similar devices.
