The Drivewyze PreClear features in the Transflo Mobile+ app allow drivers who are certified in the Drivewyze system to legally bypass weigh stations. Drivers can skip the scales with Drivewyze PreClear on Transflo devices to reduce fuel costs and keep their trucks moving.

  • Drivewyze PreClear service provides authorized bypass and 2-mile and 1-mile visual and audio alerts as you approach over 900 weigh stations and inspection sites as a safety service in 47 states on your in-cab device, no transponders needed. Partnering with Transflo seamlessly integrates bypass functionality.

  • If you are authorized to pass a station, you receive one (1) of three (3) bypass notifications in your Transflo mobile app:

  • After you bypass a station, Drivewyze automatically resets and awaits the next site.

  • Drivewyze PreClear Weigh Station Bypass Coverage Map by state and province in the USA and Canada:

Drivers can work with their fleet managers to subscribe and self-provision additional Drivewyze features such as Drivewyze Safety Plus (Drivewyze Safety+). Acquire deeper analytics and insights about driver performance to proactively prevent safety incidents. Includes enhanced portal access, custom notifications, and speed violation alerts. Geotab integration with Drivewyze is also available. To learn more, visit https://drivewyze.com/transflo-guide.

Drivewyze Safety+ reduces fleet exposure to weather hazards, cargo theft, and other operational risks. Drivewyze Safety+ is the premium safety and coaching edition and is fully integrated into your Transflo devices. As a driver, when you approach potentially hazardous locations including high-risk curves (high rollover risk), low bridges, steep grades, or high collision zones, Drivewyze Safety+ notifications function as your own personal in-cab virtual road signs to alert you with critical information about the roadway ahead, giving you more time to respond safely.

Alerts help notify drivers of upcoming zones that are known to be speed traps, target enforcement zones, or hot spots for speeding citations. The bright in-cab alerts help remind drivers to slow their speeds. The alerts to slow down in high citation areas are currently available in 10 states. These notifications are bundled into Drivewyze Safety+, a service that combines speed citation areas with other driver safety notifications such as an upcoming low bridge, mountain corridor (alerts that inform drivers to use low gears as well as alerting them to upcoming runaway truck ramps), high rollover areas, parking availability (in select states), and more.

With Safety+, fleets can create custom zones for areas they identify as high-risk areas for drivers (such as problematic areas for speeding citations) by geofencing those locations to alert drivers passing through those zones. Custom zones can be created to deliver all safety notifications included in Safety+.

Prior to launching Safety+ in 2020, Drivewyze tested the impact of the alerts with several fleets and found a 27% reduction in speeding events from drivers going 5+ miles over the speed limit.

Drivewyze Safety+ helps drivers by providing dynamic parking alerts in select states. In-cab messaging gives the actual number of parking spots available in real-time, so drivers can make the decision to continue on to the rest area, or look for other alternative parking.

Even in the presence of physical road signs, Drivewyze Safety notifications have helped fleets decrease speeding incidents and encourage safer driving habits. When you include Drivewyze Safety+ with your Transflo Mobile+ subscription, you and other drivers get the following benefits:

  • Reduce driver stress on unfamiliar roads.​

  • Access to an extensive library of in-cab safety notifications.

  • Individual and fleet-wide reporting for impact assessment.

  • Identify top-performing drivers and areas requiring further training. ​

  • Customizable, location-based alerts for safety protocols or location guidance.

In a two-year study with a major trucking company that involved thousands of trucks, Drivewyze in-cab alerts were shown to reduce over-speeding events by 17% in route segments located immediately before key high rollover locations.

Reminder: Transflo is the premier provider of popular commercial apps, custom white label apps, in-cab tablet editions, and thousands of additional integration features. Due to all the possible product configuration changes for your specific fleet, it is possible that user interface labels, buttons, links, dials, tiles, icons, colors, logos, and placement on the screen can vary. Features can also be hidden from your view based on fleet ID or permissions. In the documentation, we cover a default setup with screen examples that are generally similar for smart phones and tablets running either iOS or Android OS. Adjust certain steps, if needed, to reflect your actual device and product configuration.
