Rekor's Technology Sets New Benchmark in Overweight-Truck Enforcement with South Carolina Win and $1M Rollout
Virtual Weigh Station Program Achieves Near 100% Overweight-Truck Targeting Accuracy
South Carolina’s new "virtual weigh stations," powered by Rekor Systems’ technology, have transformed the way transport police target overweight trucks. The deployment has achieved nearly perfect accuracy in identifying trucks exceeding weight limits—a dramatic improvement over previous enforcement efforts that frequently pulled over compliant carriers. Rekor’s role in this success has not gone unnoticed: South Carolina’s Office of Information Technology, State Transport Police, and Department of Transportation recently took first place in the State Technology Innovation Award for this program.
South Carolina Partnership Delivers Operational Efficiency and Statewide Recognition
Rekor has already received an initial order of approximately $1 million related to this rollout, with additional revenue opportunities likely as the program expands. By focusing enforcement on high-risk vehicles, the state is saving on the significant costs associated with building and operating traditional truck weigh stations, which often prove prohibitively expensive for transportation agencies. This virtual approach increases the reach of roadside monitoring and enforcement while cutting down on operational costs and delays for compliant truckers.
| Key Data Point | Previous Enforcement | With Rekor Technology |
|---|---|---|
| Trucks Stopped Per Shift | 9 | 9 |
| Overweight Trucks Correctly Identified | 3–4 | 9 |
Real-Time Intelligence Powers Smarter, Safer Roads
Instead of pulling over every suspect vehicle, transport police now use mobile screening. An officer can watch live weigh-in-motion (WIM) data via a tablet or laptop, identify overweight vehicles instantly, and receive photo and weight data synced with Rekor’s analytics. This not only reduces unnecessary stops, it also ensures officers target only violators—improving both operational efficiency and roadway safety. Enforcement data is recorded for planning, compliance, and infrastructure protection.
Award-Winning Results Open Doors Nationwide
State agencies and Rekor see this as a blueprint for future enforcement nationwide. With South Carolina’s example already yielding cost and efficiency benefits, transportation officials across the country are watching. The immediate $1 million order signals strong state buy-in, but as South Carolina’s rollout continues, broader adoption could provide Rekor with significant long-term growth opportunities in the intelligent roadway infrastructure market.
The Takeaway: Data-Driven Enforcement Sets a New Industry Standard
Rekor’s work in South Carolina demonstrates how technology can enable smarter law enforcement while cutting operational costs and minimizing disruptions for compliant drivers. The state’s win in the Technology Innovation Awards, together with Rekor’s near-perfect targeting system, makes a compelling case for other states to adopt this virtual approach. For investors and industry watchers, Rekor’s current order may be just the beginning if other agencies choose to follow South Carolina’s lead.
