With the stringent weight regulations and potential fines associated with violating such regulations, CAT Scale Company provides a much-needed service to the trucking public. There isn't an over-the-road trucker who hasn't been anxious about his or her weight—truck weight, that is—whenever they pulled into a state truck weighing station. Today, there are many drivers who no longer worry about their weight. They've covered their rear by weighing on CAT scales (Certified Automated Truck scale) which includes an unconditional guarantee. With the stringent regulations and potential fines of thousands of dollars if such regulations are violated, CAT Scale Company provides a much-needed service to the trucking industry. If the driver receives an overweight fine after weighing legal on a CAT scale, CAT Scale Company will either pay the fine or appear in court with the driver as an expert witness in order to get the fine dismissed. In either case, the driver is covered and does not have to pay the fine, as long as he has a CAT scale weight ticket. There was a time, however, when truck drivers had to depend on coin-operated axle scales to weigh their loads. Since these scales usually couldn't weigh the truck and trailer all at once the weight was often inaccurate. No one could guarantee the accuracy of the vehicle weight, so drivers were left open to some pretty hefty fines. There was no one to back them up if they got an overweight citation.
