2. Why should we use the weight control system, as opposed to just buying and installing the onboard scales without the service?

There are several good reasons to select the weight control service over traditional scales.

Many companies invest in onboard scales but are unable to properly benefit from them. This could be due to drivers using the product incorrectly, a scale having been calibrated incorrectly, or too much time wasted trying to calibrate, monitor and trouble shoot the onboard scale systems.

TruckWeight Wireless Truck Scales work by accurately reading pressure and strain changes in the rig's air or mechanical suspension systems. Tiny sensors are mounted to the suspension of your tractor or trailer. These sensors then send information directly to the TruckWeight Wireless Handheld Receiver, which translates the readings into weight measurements accurate within 0.3 – 2% of your gross vehicle weight. With just the touch of a button, operators can monitor the weight of axle groups and gross vehicle weight, either from the cab or within 100 feet of the trailer.
