Fleetworthy recently launched a new Expedited Inspection feature available exclusively through Drivewyze.
Following successful pilot programs, this capability now is available to fleets passing through weigh station sites in Nevada, initially using Geotab or Platform Science electronic logging devices (ELDs), Fleetworthy reported. Additional states offering this capability will be announced soon.
“We’re thrilled to announce this industry-first capability, starting with Nevada,” Shay Demmons, Fleetworthy chief product officer, said in a news release. “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.”
Expedited Inspection securely and automatically transfers fleet and vehicle registration data to pre-fill inspection forms while also automating the delivery of a driver’s Electronic Record of Duty Status (eRODS) directly to enforcement. By reducing manual data entry and streamlining the transfer of critical inspection data, this solution accelerates roadside inspections, decreases time spent at inspection sites, lowers driver stress, and helps reduce the risk of violations, especially those related to failing to produce hours-of-service data, a top 20 violation category.
“Nevada is proud to lead the way with technology that benefits the entire industry by helping keep freight moving safely and efficiently,” said Nevada Highway Patrol Lt. Tappan Cornmesser. “By partnering with Drivewyze by Fleetworthy on Expedited Inspection, we’re empowering our officers with tools that reduce manual tasks and accelerate inspections. Automating the secure transfer of hours-of-service records and pre-filling inspection forms allows us to focus on enforcement, not paperwork, which saves time for drivers, boosts accuracy, and keeps commerce flowing.”
With Drivewyze PreClear, fleets and owner operators receive bypasses based on their safety scores across the largest bypass network in North America, Fleetworthy added. However, drivers may still be randomly pulled in, and that’s when Expedited Inspection pays off. By automating traditional time-intensive and manual elements of the inspection process, Expedited Inspection saves fleets and inspectors time, money, fuel, and stress.
“Our focus is on fleet performance and that means delivering best in class fleet safety, data automation, and the best driver experience,” said Emilie Campbell, Platform Science senior director of partner management. “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.”
