Streamlining Inspections with Innovative Technology

“We’re thrilled to announce this industry-first capability, starting with Nevada,” said Shay Demmons, CPO at Fleetworthy. “Our PreClear weigh station bypass customers can activate Expedited Inspection through their ELD, and once done, they’re set with Nevada and any new states as they come on board.”

The service is currently available at weigh stations in Nevada, supported by Geotab and Platform Science ELDs, with plans for expansion into additional states soon.

Redefining Roadside Inspection Efficiency

Expedited Inspection securely automates the transfer of fleet and vehicle registration data to pre-fill inspection forms. Additionally, the solution delivers a driver’s Electronic Record of Duty Status (eRODS) directly to enforcement officers, reducing manual data entry and accelerating inspection times. The process not only lowers driver stress but also minimizes time spent at inspection sites and decreases risks, particularly violations related to Hours of Service data, one of the most common violations.

According to Nevada Highway Patrol Lieutenant Tappan Cornmesser, “By partnering with Drivewyze by Fleetworthy on Expedited Inspection, we’re empowering our officers with tools that reduce manual tasks and speed up inspections. Automating the secure transfer of Hours of Service records and pre-filling inspection forms allows us to focus on enforcement rather than paperwork, saving time for drivers, boosting accuracy, and keeping commerce flowing.”

Aligning Technology with Fleet Performance

Fleetworthy is using its Drivewyze PreClear network, North America’s largest bypass network, to deliver additional value to fleets. Although random inspections still occur, Expedited Inspection offers significant benefits by automating traditionally time-consuming manual tasks, saving fleets and inspectors time, resources, and stress.

“Our focus is on fleet performance, which means providing top-tier safety, automation, and a better driver experience,” said Emilie Campbell, Senior Director of Partner Management at Platform Science. “By now offering Expedited Inspection in our ELD, we are continuing to be at the forefront of the next generation of compliance technology. We look forward to offering this new feature to our industry-leading customers who expect cutting-edge innovation and operational excellence from us.”

Demmons underlined the importance of this innovation to the transportation sector, stating, “By removing the manual handoff of HOS data and automating the inspection workflow, we’re helping fleets get back on the road faster while giving enforcement tools to keep highways safe.”

Fleetworthy’s Expedited Inspection is poised to redefine roadside compliance, creating smoother, more efficient processes for both drivers and inspectors.

Special Perks for Truck Drivers

According to an official release, truckers can enjoy a host of freebies and benefits at select Pennsylvania Turnpike service plazas throughout April. These perks include free beverages, snacks, bottled water, exclusive coupons, and updates about the transition to Open Road Tolling. To sweeten the deal, truck drivers can enter a raffle for a chance to win a coveted Yeti Travel Water Bottle.

Whether you’re on the road or taking a quick break, all visitors are encouraged to stop by the designated locations to learn more about the initiatives both organizations are spearheading to improve safety and efficiency on the roadways.

PMTA’s No-Zone Truck in Action

Adding an educational touch to the events, PMTA’s “No Zone truck,” designed to raise awareness about tractor-trailer blind spots, will be at all three event locations. Additionally, Fleetworthy/Bestpass representatives will be available at the King of Prussia event to showcase their commercial toll management solutions.

Event Details

Truckers can take part in these events from 7 to 11 a.m. at the following service plaza locations and dates:

• April 11 – Highspire Service Plaza (Milepost 249.7 East), 300 Industrial Lane, Middletown, PA 17057

• April 14 – King of Prussia Service Plaza (Milepost 328.4 West), 381 West DeKalb Pike, King of Prussia, PA 19406

• April 28 – South Somerset Service Plaza (Milepost 112.3 East), 327 Industrial Park Road, Somerset, PA 15501

A History of Collaboration

This latest initiative is just one example of the continued collaboration between the PA Turnpike Commission and the Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association. Together, they have been tackling significant challenges faced by truck drivers, such as the shortage of parking spaces for large vehicles.

Efforts to expand parking for tractor-trailers at service plazas, such as Sideling Hill, Lawn, and Highspire, have proven successful. To further assist drivers, digital message boards displaying real-time parking availability (indicating whether a lot is full, low, or open) operate between 5 p.m. and 2 a.m. near nine service plazas.

Tech-Driven Support for Truck Drivers

The PA Turnpike Commission has also embraced technology to support truck drivers on their journeys. Through partnerships with Drivewyze’s Smart Roadway program and INRIX, commercial truck drivers gain access to real-time traffic alerts, including updates on slowdowns, congestion, and incidents.
