The Difference Between Commercial Truck Toll and Regular Toll

PrePass Tolls is a comprehensive electronic toll payment and management service for trucks that don't need a bypass service. The main purpose of toll management programs is to do much more than just process tolls, which is the primary goal of self-managed systems like E-ZPass. E-ZPass was designed for personal vehicles, while Bestpass was created specifically for commercial vehicles and their needs. Investing in toll management could be a game-changer for your company, as it could save you money if Bestpass had access to the lowest tolls on the market.

Drivers without an ExpressStoll account are sent a registration toll statement for tolls paid on the E-470 and CDOT express lanes, and a GO-PASS statement for Northwest Parkway tolls. Carriers can then avoid weighing stations and pay truck tolls in a single account with consolidated invoices, at the payment station, or use an application such as the Tollsmart Toll Calculator for Trucks to make automatic payments via their smartphone or tablet (if the toll operator supports it). Additionally, many of the major toll systems around the world are transitioning from traditional toll booths to ETCs due to their convenience and efficiency. Truck drivers and fleets are under immense pressure to deliver their goods quickly, and having a toll system helps a lot. A transponder is a device that communicates with toll collection systems to automatically deduct the corresponding tolls from the driver's account.

PrePass toll management services manage all of your toll reconciliations and payments, as well as manage disputes on your behalf. As an ExpressStoll customer, you pay the lowest toll rates of all Colorado toll centers; you automatically pay tolls through your prepaid account; you can easily update and manage your account online; and you have access to local offers and discounts through the ExpressStoll Rewards program. Tolls don't require a monthly fee; they are only deducted from your account when you use a toll road. As part of the PrePass Plus electronic toll payment service, INFORM Tolling's interactive dashboard breaks down tolls by device, geographical region and toll agency. Therefore, license plate toll service customers pay higher rates than ExpressStoll customers.

This allows drivers to pay their tolls automatically without having to stop and pay at the toll plaza. To calculate tolls (or reimbursement), integrate the toll API, which helps manage fleet routes to save time or costs.
