Swift Transportation Co. Inc., Phoenix, Ariz., has deployed PrePassPlus to enable its vehicles to comply with state safety and credential requirements while bypassing weigh stations at highway speed
and pay tolls electronically at toll plazas throughout the Northeast and
Illinois.
"Uninterrupted travel through weigh stations and hundreds of E-ZPass-equipped bridges and tollbooths means enhanced customer service and added efficiencies, such as fuel savings, processing toll payments and avoiding delays at toll booths," said Dave Berry, vice president Swift Transportation.
Swift's trucking subsidiaries operate the largest fleet of truckload carrier equipment in the United States with regional and transcontinental operations throughout most of North America.
"We welcome Swift to our growing base of PrePassPlus carriers," said Richard Landis, president and CEO of HELP Inc. the public-private partnership responsible for PrePass. "Their decision to use PrePassPlus sends a strong signal throughout the industry that our service has bottom line benefits to our customers. Each month, PrePass processes more than 4 million weigh station bypasses, saving the industry about 2 million gallons of fuel and more than 340 thousand hours of unnecessary weigh station stops."
PrePassPlus enables enrolled carriers to also pay tolls at more than 300 E-ZPass locations using the same in-cab device. More than 350,000 vehicles and 56,000 carriers have enrolled in PrePass.
