J.B. Hunt Adopts Drivewyze Weigh-Station Bypass Service On PeopleNet Units
J.B. Hunt Transport is adopting Drivewyze Inc.’s PreClear weigh-station bypass service through an integration with its in-cab PeopleNet units.
The intermodal and trucking company decided to invest in the bypass service after activating Drivewyze analytics on more than 8,000 company-owned trucks last year, the companies said in a joint announcement.
Greer Woodruff, J.B. Hunt’s senior vice president of safety, security and driver personnel, said the fleet’s drivers will see more bypasses and time savings with PreClear.
“In-depth analysis has supported a data-driven decision to adopt the Drivewyze service,” Woodruff said. “Delays affect both the driver and the fleet, having a significant impact on drive time, operational costs and productivity.
He said the integration of Drivewyze and PeopleNet will offer the fleet a 98% bypass rate while eliminating the costs and management of transponders.
Drivewyze said it offers bypass services at 545 inspection sites in 34 states.
