PrePass Expansion Continues: Michigan Becomes 29th State

PrePass, by eliminating weigh station stops and idling in queues, saves time, money and fuel. At the same time, the public benefits from improved highway safety and reduced greenhouse gases. According to Capt. Robert Powers, commander of the Michigan State Police Traffic Safety Division, "With PrePass, Michigan inspectors will be able to focus on those trucks most likely to be deficient in their compliance with credential, weight and safety regulations."

"We are excited about the expansion of PrePass into Michigan and the added value it provides our participating companies," said Richard P. Landis, president and CEO of HELP Inc., the public-private partnership that offers the weigh station service.

Beginning in November, PrePass will unveil an expanded suite of services that helps truckers manage fleets, control costs and improve highway safety. To be among the first to preview the new services, sign up at www.prepassnewproducts.com
