Toll Transponder Discounts
Drivewyze - Learn More about Drivewyze
PreClear is the DW (Drivewyze) bypass product that requires no transponders. It operates on the Pedigree ELD, utilizing geofences for weight stations and other safety notifications. Since it operates on the ELD, this product can be enabled and disabled instantly as needed.
The PreClear system will display a message alerting drivers to an upcoming weigh station twice, 2 miles away and 1 mile away. Shortly after passing the 1-mile geofence, the driver will get a message to either “Bypass” or “Pull-In”
DW Safety Notifications is a driver safety alert service configurable by URS. These alerts would show on the ELD screen, warning drivers of low bridges ahead (onscreen bridge height included), steep grades, brake check messages for chain stations (winter driving in the mountains), and more.
SmartDrive
Enhancing Road Safety and Performance with SmartDrive Event Recorders
Here is how it works!
The SmartDrive Event Recorder system offers video-based protection in the event of a not-at-fault crash, and you will save even more money when you install one on your equipment. That protection has great value, particularly to professional business owners like you. Our Independent Contractors and Fleet Owners have realized the many benefits of this system.
Let’s look at the benefits of linking an event recorder to your truck, which can also bring you significant savings and incentives.
Cost Savings:
- 30% discount on Casualty Auto Liability Insurance Cost
- Effective once the system is installed and the Operating and Lease addendum is returned
- Casualty Auto Liability Costs:
- Stinger and large capacity trucks – $9,000 annual ($750/month)
- Three car haulers – $7,500 annually ($625/month)
- Let’s look at your savings on Casualty Auto Liability Costs:
- Stinger and large capacity trucks –$2,700 annual ($225/month)
- Three car haulers – $2,250 annually ($187.50/month)
The Math – you spend just $15 monthly and save $225 monthly.
Like the Pedigree ELD, the SmartDrive Event Recorder purchased through United Road will be installed for no charge in your truck (a $200 value), owned by the company, and leased to you for only $15 monthly.
Some of your escrow may be used if an Event Recorder is damaged. Deinstallation costs are also United Road’s if done by a United Road shop.
The SmartDrive Event Recorder system is OUTWARD FACING ONLY. There is no in-cab monitoring (video or audio) of the driver.
