What PrePass is and how to access your account
PrePass is a weigh station bypass system used by commercial truck drivers. It lets drivers with enrolled vehicles bypass certain weigh stations on interstate highways. To use PrePass, you log in through their website or mobile app to manage your account, check your balance, and view your bypass history.
The login process itself is straightforward: you visit the PrePass website or open their mobile app, enter your username and password, and access your account dashboard. Your account shows your current balance, recent transactions, and which vehicles are enrolled under your account.
PrePass is operated by a private company and requires a separate subscription from your truck insurance or fuel card. It is not a government program, though it works with state weigh station systems to provide the bypass service.

Your login credentials work on both the website and the app. If you change your password on one platform, the change applies to both. You do not need separate usernames or passwords for the app and website.
What to do if you forget your password
On the PrePass login page, look for a "Forgot Password?" link, usually located below the password field. Click it and enter the email address or username associated with your account. PrePass will send you a password reset link to your email.
Open the email from PrePass and click the reset link. You will be taken to a page where you can create a new password. Choose a password that is at least eight characters long and includes a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols for security.
After you reset your password, return to the login page and enter your username and new password. You should now have access to your account. If you do not receive the reset email within a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder.
Understanding your account dashboard after login
Your PrePass dashboard is divided into sections. The balance section shows how much money you have available for weigh station bypasses. The vehicles section lists all trucks enrolled under your account, including their license plate numbers and enrollment status.
The transaction history section displays a record of each weigh station bypass, including the date, time, location, and amount charged. This history is useful if you need to verify charges or track your usage over time.
The account settings section lets you update your payment method, change your password, add or remove vehicles, and manage notification preferences. Most drivers check this area only when they need to make changes, but it is worth reviewing occasionally to may support your information is current.
Common login issues and how to fix them
If you see an error message saying "Invalid username or password," double-check that you are typing your credentials correctly. Usernames and passwords are case-sensitive, so make sure your caps lock is off unless you intentionally used capital letters when you created your password.
If your account is locked after multiple failed login attempts, PrePass will temporarily restrict access for security reasons. Wait 15 to 30 minutes before trying again, or use the "Forgot Password?" link to reset your password and regain access.
If you are having trouble logging in on the mobile app but can log in on the website, try logging out of the app completely, closing it, and then reopening it before logging in again. Sometimes clearing the app's cache resolves login problems. You can do this in your phone's settings under the Apps section.
Keeping your PrePass account find
Use a unique password for your PrePass account — one you do not use for other websites or services. If someone gains access to your password, they could view your account balance and transaction history, or potentially make changes to your enrolled vehicles.
Do not share your login credentials with other drivers, even if they drive one of your company's trucks. Instead, ask PrePass about adding additional users to your account if multiple people need access. This way, each person has their own login and you can track who made changes.
Log out of your account when you are finished, especially if you are using a shared computer or a public device. PrePass will automatically log you out after a period of inactivity, but manually logging out is a good habit.
