With Live Coverage in Oklahoma, Bestpass Completes First National Tolling Solution
|
We are excited to announce that we are actively processing toll in Oklahoma! With the addition of Oklahoma, we can now offer you the first, and currently only, fully functional and operational national tolling solution.
"When we started processing tolls with the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority, we added the final piece necessary to deliver a truly national tolling solution and to cover 100 percent of all major U.S. toll roads," said John Andrews, our president and CEO. "This is a huge milestone for Bestpass and a huge benefit to our customers."

Did you know that the month of May is National
Barbecue Month? With the Memorial Day Weekend quickly approaching, we thought we would help you become a true grill master. Here are a few myths we'd be happy to see go up in smoke.
1.
"No frequent flipping."
Some chefs swear by the one-flip rule, others claim that you can get a more evenly cooked steak by flipping it more often. Frequent flipping prevents steak from curling, which causes the fat to shrink more quickly than meat as it cooks.
2. "Smoke adds flavor." Those wood chips that are supposed to add smoky flavor - you can forget them. A steak is only on a grill for a few minutes, when in reality, it takes about 20 minutes before the meat absorbs the smoky flavor.
3.
"The hotter the better."
Varying the temperature can yield better results and juicer steaks. To retain moisture in the meat, the most important thing to do is to start cooking at a higher temperature and then finish the cooking process on a lower temperature. Grilling is a drying process.
4.
"Bring steaks to room temperature before grilling."
A steak that's left unrefrigerated for a few hours will not cook any better a steak right out of the refrigerator. Plus, unrefrigerated steak increases the risk for bacteria.
5. "Smoke rings mean flavor." Let's face it, smoke rings look really cool, but they don't have any effect on flavor. The ring is a result of a chemical reaction between protein molecules in meat and gasses in the smoke. You can see the ring, but you can't taste it!

Touch-a-Truck Event a Success
|
|
We love to host touch-a-truck events to benefit a great cause! This year, we hosted our touch-a-truck event with New York State Motor Truck Association, on Saturday, May 21st in Clifton Park, New York. We are happy to say that it was a huge success and fun was had by all!
More than 1,500 children, parents and other members of the community got to get up close to more than 20 large commercial and emergency vehicles while also raising more than $5,400 for Veterans Count NY.
Bestpass Inc., and the New York State Motor Truck Association organized the event, which more than doubled attendance over the previous year. A special thanks to Zappone Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram and Carter, Conboy, Case, Blackmore, Maloney & Laird, P.C. for providing sponsorship support, and thanks to several local businesses also donated items for a raffle and door prizes.

Q. A truck comes to a 1,000 ft long bridge and stops right before going on it to read a sign. The sign says that the maximum weight that the bridge can hold is 4 tons, which is the exact weight of the truck. So, the truck starts going on the bridge. About halfway over the bridge a little bird lands on top of the truck. Does the bridge break?
A. No, because by the time the truck is halfway across the bridge it has burned enough gas which brings its weight down to let the bird sit on it without the bridge breaking.
