Drivewyze announced it expanded its notifications of temporary rest area parking to include Arizona, Virginia and Ohio.

Arizona recently opened two temporary sites, and Virginia is now allowing long-term parking at 10 weigh stations. In Ohio, the state department of transportation requested Drivewyze provide messaging to truckers as an extension of the state’s decision to keep all rest areas open, patrolled and safe, according to the Dallas-based company.

“Truckers now receive an automated heads-up notification with open-close status 25 miles and 5 miles prior to the rest areas in Arizona and weigh stations in Virginia. In Ohio, the notification that all sites are open goes out when a trucker crosses the state line,” Brian Heath, CEO of Drivewyze, said in a release.



In addition to the three new states, Drivewyze also provides temporary parking notifications in Pennsylvania and Florida. Notifications are available and free to carriers subscribed to the Drivewyze Safety Notifications service. — Transport Topics
