Service Details
Adding a truck to an existing PrePass account is a straightforward process that allows
commercial carriers to expand the benefits of PrePass weigh station and toll bypass services to
additional vehicles within their fleet. This simple procedure ensures that all eligible trucks can
efficiently navigate weigh stations and toll plazas, minimizing delays and optimizing operational
efficiency.
The process of adding a truck to an existing PrePass account typically involves the following
steps:
1. **Accessing Account Management Tools:** Carriers initiate the truck addition process by
accessing the account management tools provided by PrePass. This may involve logging into
the PrePass online portal or contacting PrePass customer service via phone or email.
2. **Providing Vehicle Information:** Carriers provide essential information about the truck being
added to the PrePass account, including vehicle identification details, such as VIN (Vehicle
Identification Number), license plate number, and other relevant information required for
registration.
3. **Transponder Allocation:** If the carrier does not already possess a PrePass transponder for
the additional truck, PrePass will allocate a new transponder for the vehicle. The transponder is
a crucial component that communicates with PrePass infrastructure at weigh stations and toll
plazas, enabling bypass opportunities.
4. **Transponder Installation:** Once the transponder is allocated, carriers securely install it in
the newly added truck according to PrePass's installation instructions. Proper transponder
installation ensures seamless communication with PrePass infrastructure during bypass
operations.
5. **Testing and Activation:** Before deploying the truck in active operations, carriers may
conduct testing to verify transponder functionality and ensure compatibility with PrePass
infrastructure. Once testing is successful, the transponder is activated and ready for use in
bypass operations.
6. **Confirmation and Documentation:** PrePass confirms the successful addition of the truck to
the carrier's account and provides documentation, such as updated account information and
transponder details, for reference.
By adding a truck to an existing PrePass account, commercial carriers extend the benefits of
PrePass bypass services to additional vehicles in their fleet, enhancing overall fleet efficiency
and ensuring consistent compliance with weigh station and toll plaza regulations. This
streamlined process minimizes administrative burdens and enables carriers to maximize the
advantages of PrePass services across their entire operation.
