Whenever enforcement officers conduct Level 3 inspections at weigh stations, drivers and officers have to complete some manual steps to transfer data between the electronic logging device (ELDs) in the truck and the computers at inspection sites.
The transfer process takes time and is prone to data input errors. If manual steps cause disruptions in the transfer of hours-of-service (HOS) data, ultimately drivers could receive violations.
Drivewyze, which provides a weigh station bypass program known as PreClear, has been working with ELD providers and state agencies on an automated e-Inspection service to eliminate the manual input.
The company developed a new service through established relationships with ELD providers, government and law enforcement agencies and opened enrollment June 30 in the new program to fleets who pass through weigh stations in Maryland, Maine and Virginia.
Drivewyze has been working with the states to automate the transfer of HOS data to improve speed, efficiency and inspection accuracy. Other states are expected to join the list once their agencies have completed software updates.
The new e-Inspection service is free for fleets that use Drivewyze PreClear for weigh station bypass and have ELDs from Drivewyze integration partners. The first to participate in the new program are Platform Science and Geotab.
