Drivewyze Weigh Station Bypass

As an administrator, use this KB article to configure Drivewyze for a Mobile+ account subscription. As a fleet manager or customer, use this KB article only if you need to understand how Drivewyze will appear in the mobile app for your drivers or if you need to perform the manual spreadsheet sync between Geotab, Transflo, and Drivewyze. As a driver, see Drivewyze in the Transflo Mobile+ App.

The Drivewyze feature and Drivewyze SDK item type provide a way for drivers who are certified in the Drivewyze system to legally bypass weigh stations. To learn more, see Drivewyze in the Transflo Mobile Plus app.

 

 

In mid-2025 a new automated API integration was introduced. The new Automated Geotab-Drivewyze Sync service automatically synchronizes assets between Geotab and Drivewyze removing hours of manual data upkeep.

If you ever need to revert to the manual steps, we include them below. As a Transflo customer, you can continue to manually integrate data.

Vehicle and other asset data in Geotab can manually sync with Transflo data and Drivewyze data. Drivewyze is only updated using data synced from Geotab vehicle management at this time. Until a future update allows ELD users to manage their vehicle asset data in the Geotab Telematics portal, Transflo Geotab customers can submit a ticket request and a pre-formatted .xls spreadsheet to Transflo Support to update their vehicles.

Use the following columns for your spreadsheet data:

  • Carrier Name: Must match the company name on file with Transflo when your contract and subscription were authorized.

  • Carrier DOT Number: Must match DOT number on file with Transflo.

  • Power Unit Number: All values must be at least 2 digits.

  • VIN Number: Must be accurate.

  • License Plate: Must be accurate.

  • License Plate Jurisdiction: State or province of issue for the license plate (for example, PA, FL, TX, or MB for Manitoba).

  • Trailer Numbers: Optional list of one or more trailers ID numbers (for example, 20281, 20282, 20283).

 

Example:

As an authorized Transflo administrator or Support agent, you can follow the steps below to upload the spreadsheet in TFX Admin.

As a Transflo administrator, to enable Drivewyze features, including the option to manually update Drivewyze data from a spreadsheet, follow these steps:

Tip: Some KB articles contain just enough product information to get you started. Advanced details are hidden. Authorized administrators can log in to view both the public and private content. Transflo employees can request access here https://forms.office.com/r/dWg5RMr2fJ to get a Transflo MadCap ID. MadCap Software is our third-party CMS and cloud-hosting provider.

  1. In TFX Admin, expand the Customer, Divisions, and Fleet.

  2. Right click on the fleet and choose Properties.

  3. Select the Enable TFM+ check box.

  4. Click the DriveWyze sub-tab.

  5. Select the Enable DriveWyze check box and configure the remaining settings. The first name, last name, and e-mail must match the primary contact as listed on the original Transflo contract.

  6. Functionality must be configured and integrated on the TRANSFLO® back-end server. Configure the following elements on the TRANSFLO® Server:

    1. In the Subscription Type group, select the level of bypass authorization for this fleet (deprecated, this is now done on the Drivewyze tab in SWAT):

      • Full Bypass Service: The full paid service to legally bypass weigh stations available all the time.

      • Full Bypass Service Evaluation: The evaluation period is 30 days. After that period, one bypass a month is available. The evaluation is meant to be a "pre-sale" offer so that you, as a customer, can test the functionality. After you decide whether to buy, they should be switched to the full service or removed.

        Note: As an administrator, do not leave a customer setting in Evaluation mode beyond 30 days. This can result in service errors and billing discrepancies.

         

      • Analytics Mode Only:Analytics Mode is for behind-the-scenes data collection. The driver doesn't get any bypasses or receive any notifications on the phone, but data is sent to Drivewyze so they can analyze how many bypasses the driver might be missing out on.

    2. In the name and email fields, enter the name and email for the contact with the fleet/company responsible for their management of DriveWyze. This information is uploaded to DriveWyze, when the spreadsheet (list of vehicles) is sent.

    3. In the Upload Vehicle Spreadsheet field, enter or select the Excel file that contains the vehicle authorization information. In 2025, a new Automated Geotab-Drivewyze Sync service automatically synchronizes assets between Geotab and Drivewyze removing hours of manual data upkeep. If you ever need to revert to the manual steps, we include them here.

      1. If GeoTab is used to populate the driver data (ELD Sync), the ability to upload a spreadsheet in TFX Admin for the purpose of creating vehicles in Drivewyze will not be available. Those fields are disabled.

      2. To do the manual steps, clear the Enable ELD Sync check box.

      3. Click Browse... and select the most recent .XLS file in the Drivewyze Set Up folder in the customer folder on the CUSTOMER drive.

      4. Click Open.

    4. After entering the path or selecting the Excel file, perform these steps in the following order:

      1. Click Upload to Transflo to upload the file to TRANSFLO® or DriveWyze.

      2. Click Update DriveWyze.

      3. Click Upload Fleet Picture to upload a photo.

  7. To save the configuration, click OK.
