What does this mean?

What does it mean when my prepass lights up red and green and both stay lit? Needs new batteries? If not, how do I know when it needs new batteries?

If that's your pre-pass that means you need to stop at the scale
SawGoodMang@reddit
Are you serious?
buckytuba1@reddit
I'm not serious that much. depends on if it's a serious question and then i'll most likely make up something. I want to appear like I'm in the know, you know?
SawGoodMang@reddit
Someone at my work said ours don’t work bc we have a low csa score 😣
buckytuba1@reddit
That sounds reasonable. I've also heard that it's probably the quality of the double-sided tape that you're using
SawGoodMang@reddit
Slip seater. 90% aren’t even in sight lol
Micro-Skies@reddit
It technically does. That's not answering the question op asked, but it's technically true
buckytuba1@reddit
What does a flashing red light in my mirror mean?
BowlerLive8820@reddit
Hammer down!
buckytuba1@reddit
No seriously. Not really. It means the batteries are low. I found that out.
bloodsoed@reddit
Time to call the person at your company that handles those. I believe it’s time for a replacement.
palebd@reddit
If you is a Swifty they done changed companies. Prepass replaced with another tag strictly for tolls, pre clearances being handled by drivewyze on yo tablet, foo.
Humble_Length5150@reddit
Can we get this translated to English please? (asking for a friend)
palebd@reddit
Swift is migrating away from Prepass elite for tolls and scale pre-clearance. You'll need to swing by a terminal to turn in the Prepass and get a new Bestpass. The new Bestpass will only work for tolls; moving forward, the drivewyze app on your company tablet will popup bypass or enter alerts for scales, my guy.

Omg a light in the dark.

It's OK - I speak jive.

Then have them transfer you to the person that handles distracted driving.
Pristine-Today4611@reddit
Exactly and to be so stupid as to post evidence of it online 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
westernrecluse@reddit
I’m sure he was parked in this picture… 😂🤣 Jesus
-Mikey2Toes@reddit
That’s right. Parked in the slow lane 🤣🤣
tidyshark12@reddit
Loving the giant cracks on the windshield both larger than a quarter and too close together LaughingOutLoud hopefully you don't get an inspection 😅
Mistermeena@reddit
I notice you guys don't really seem to use stoneguards over there? Pretty common on aussie rigs I figured it's because your haghways are better
Few-Chemical-5165@reddit
Well, I wouldn't put it past some of these new drivers to do that
Keepup863@reddit
Yea nothing is moving
icy_penguins@reddit
Well at least the user name is fitting of a jack wagon
Cheekoteh@reddit
Might be the battery going out
teeming-with-life@reddit
This.
Stuntihn_@reddit
It means left lane hammer down
Fair_Replacement3907@reddit
Your truck your choice.
Ok not really. Probably a battery going dead. 2 or 3 triple a's should fix it up driver.
Distinct_Self5679@reddit
Try new batteries that happened to me also replaced and was good to go
QueballD@reddit
I saw green down call safety later
CaptianBrasiliano@reddit
Post-Pass
AdAccurate7497@reddit
Green means go
Browncoatinabox@reddit
red means stop
drimmie@reddit
Boys have a penis. Girls have a vagina.
AdAccurate7497@reddit
Seems radical
MoetivatedIndividual@reddit
Batteries are dead
FreeAndRedeemed@reddit
It means the pre-pass either needs batteries, or it’s broken. Get it taken care of when you can.
In the meantime, act like you don’t have a pre-pass and pull into every open scale on your route.
Few-Chemical-5165@reddit
Or act, like you got a green light every time, and if they pull you over, act very ignorant about it and say it does have the green light on?
Living-Law-6918@reddit
This actually works
Few-Chemical-5165@reddit
It's not gonna work forever, obviously you're gonna get that one guy who says you should've read the instruction manual blah blah blah. Our ignorance is no excuse. It's not something you can use constantly
Living-Law-6918@reddit
Once is the same as forever. You might get that guy no matter what but that's what I would do
Fit_Hospital2423@reddit
Anyone else want tell them that the batteries probably need replaced?
RuneScape420Homie@reddit
Yes.
RuneScape420Homie@reddit
Batteries
HowlingWolven@reddit
Means don’t take pictures while driving.
icy_penguins@reddit
I'm sure you've NEEEEEVEERRRR done that right
HowlingWolven@reddit
Stopped doing it.
Living-Law-6918@reddit
I would leave it just like that and pass every weigh station. "I thought it was a bypass"
Dual-use@reddit
Mine does that when the batteries die. Go through the scale and replace the batteries at the end of your shift
CobraWasTaken@reddit
Well he already took a picture while driving, might as well go ahead and change the batteries while he's driving /s
Mater079@reddit
Trucker appreciation with the DOT. Offering you a free pizza, chips and a choice beverage at the scale!
omgitsoop@reddit
Must be nice, our Norpass transponders just pull an irish goodbye, never to wake up again
UhOhAllWillyNilly@reddit
My Norpass has a battery test button. Of course it’s pretty old (like me (HAH! Who am I kidding? I’m very old, truth be told)).
Saint_Dogbert@reddit
Drive pass the scale house and find out.
buckytuba1@reddit
Well when I get a green and red light it usually means it's about to self-destruct so I parked the truck and run away
xVanJunkiex@reddit
Just in case it wasn’t mentioned batteries
DrSideShowbob@reddit
Mine did this a few weeks ago. Changed them out and was good to go
Few-Chemical-5165@reddit
I had my prepast for 5 years and never had to replace the batteries. And the last year I was double checking, making sure it still worked by pushing the testing button never had an issue with it.
bfoster3183@reddit
It's the battery. Get new batteries and it'll be fine. I just had to do it
dingdingdredgen@reddit
Caught you with your dick out again. Keep going.
Psilologist@reddit
That means you get to choose if ya pull in or not.....or ya just need batteries.
Snajperista5@reddit
When she tells you she likes you.
Like a friend
theminnesoregonian@reddit
Schrodinger's prepass.
tidyshark12@reddit
If it went off like that when going under the sensors, you're supposed to pull to the shoulder of the on ramp for the weigh station, drop your trailer, then proceed through the scale bobtail and have someone else hook upto your trailer and proceed through the bypass lane so you can hook up to it again.
If the red was on the bottom and green on top, you'd drop the trailer on the shoulder and proceed through the bypass lane bobtail while someone else hooks up and runs your trailer across the scale and drops it on the other side for you.
In case it isnt obvious: /s
Gijinbrotha@reddit
Low batterys.
Browncoatinabox@reddit
shrodeingers pre pass
NoMasterpiece2063@reddit
Change the battery
ApprehensiveMix2649@reddit
It possibly ran out of money, time to refill
nuovashenron91@reddit
Do not pass go, do not collect $200.
For real, replace the battery or device.
Redmistseeker@reddit
Hammer Down, get out in the Monfort Lane and Roll on by
Inevitable_Meet_7374@reddit
Who stops at weigh stations anyway
LonleyWolf420@reddit
Needs batteries.. mines done this way too often TBH
SweetLikeHoney1313@reddit
You just gotta replace the batteries
West_Imagination3237@reddit
Likely battery on its last leg. They typically take double A.
CakewalkNOLA@reddit
Has anyone mentioned that you might need new batteries?
silverchevy2011@reddit
Drive faster!
Sufficient_Tooth_949@reddit
If in doubt at all, always just go through the scale
If they didn't want you they'll wave you thru
Id rather a 10 minute inconvenience than being chased down by a trooper because I was confused
thetruckerswallofsha@reddit
Low battery
DCOMIDIA@reddit
Change the batteries
MostlyUseful@reddit

Dorito-Bureeto@reddit

Cheekoteh@reddit
Probably the battery but mine has done some really weird stuff like beeping for 1 hour and then went back to normal.
950auto@reddit
Means keep going
Bald-Eagle39@reddit
Means you need new batteries
undercovercouple1973@reddit
It means stay on the road, if they catch up with you down the road play dumb!🤔
12InchPickle@reddit
Pull into the scale. Replace batteries.
MADLUX2015@reddit
