Challenge
Ploger Transportation, a safety- and innovation-driven fleet based in Norwalk, Ohio, began experiencing a sudden increase in out-of-service violations related to underinflated tires—particularly in Kentucky. These violations weren’t due to poor maintenance, but rather newly deployed roadside tire pressure monitoring technology. Without a weigh station bypass solution in place, drivers were frequently pulled into inspections, compounding downtime and operational costs.
Solution
Seeking both immediate and long-term answers, Ploger partnered with Drivewyze by Fleetworthy—introduced through their telematics partner, Gray Box—to implement the Drivewyze PreClear and Safety+ solutions across their fleet. In addition to reducing weigh station stops, Ploger used in-cab alerts to guide drivers toward fuel savings, safer routes, and better compliance. The Gray Box team ensured seamless integration into Ploger’s existing telematics stack, accelerating adoption and impact.
Results
Within the first year, Ploger recorded over 10,000 weigh station bypasses across 88 vehicles, saving more than $80,000 in fuel, emissions, and time. Drivers reported fewer delays and improved satisfaction, averaging 97 bypasses per vehicle each month. Custom alerts further boosted efficiency and morale—turning a compliance challenge into a driver-approved win for safety, savings, and sustainability.
