ATA Adds Bestpass as Latest Featured Product



ARLINGTON, Va., -- Today, American Trucking Associations announced it has added toll management provider Bestpass to its roster of Featured Products.



"In addition to being inefficient at raising infrastructure revenue, tolls also add inefficiencies to a carrier's backoffice processes," said ATA President and CEO Bill Graves. "Streamlined toll management services like the one offered by Bestpass can help fleets improve their performance and reduce the inefficiencies associated with toll management."



"The challenge of managing tolls is often underestimated by trucking companies. With as many as 40 separate toll authorities in North America, motor carriers and other types of transportation operations are incurring costs associated with the hours it takes to manage this business process, and those costs are nearly impossible to pass on in rates," said Bestpass President and CEO John Andrews. "We estimate, based on the size of the fleet, that three to 15 hours of management time per month is spent on electronic toll related issues. We manage those issues so fleets don't have to. We've saved customers hundreds of thousands of dollars by successfully renegotiating existing toll discounts, finding new opportunities to lower costs, and resolving transponder violation issues."



Bestpass uses its bulk purchasing power with toll networks and partnerships with state highway authorities throughout the U.S. and Canada.
