U.S. Patent Office awards Fleetworthy new patent for breakthrough fleet efficiency technology

Fleetworthy, the industry’s only complete technology suite combining fleet safety, compliance, toll management, and weigh station bypass, today announced it has secured its third patent for its Drivewyze by Fleetworthy weigh station bypass service. The newly awarded Patent 12,327,434 highlights Fleetworthy’s ongoing commitment to advancing fleet technology and represents Fleetworthy’s 22nd patent overall.

"Patents validate our leadership in innovation and protect our intellectual property,” said Shay Demmons, Chief Product Officer of Fleetworthy. “Securing patents enables us to confidently advance our technology, providing foundational innovations that tangibly benefit our customers. This latest patent underscores our deep culture of innovation at Fleetworthy.”

Patent 12,327,434 covers several pioneering features, including dual-mode logic that allows fleets to manage both weigh station bypass and toll payments through Bestpass by Fleetworthy. Additionally, the patent highlights user-selectable privacy controls, customizable notification formats, and an enhanced interface that allows drivers to easily review past notifications and bypass decisions.

“When Drivewyze by Fleetworthy weigh station bypass first launched, it significantly disrupted traditional bypass methods,” added Demmons. “Our patented cloud-based solution leverages cellular networks, embedding transponder-like functionality directly into ELDs and mobile devices. This eliminates the need for additional hardware and streamlines bypass activation.”

Since its introduction, Drivewyze by Fleetworthy has further enhanced its technology by integrating proactive, in-cab safety alerts that inform drivers of upcoming hazards, such as high rollover areas, sudden slowdowns, low-clearance bridges, and high-citation zones for speeding.

“It’s an exciting time at Fleetworthy as we continue to grow and innovate across our product portfolio,” concluded Demmons. “Our talented product team consistently delivers groundbreaking solutions. Securing patents is integral to our innovation strategy and reinforces Fleetworthy’s industry leadership.”
