Weight is an important variable for carriers that transport bulk and refrigerated commodities. It has a measurable impact on revenue, cost, compliance and safety. Equipping a fleet with onboard load scales gives drivers a quick way to ensure the payload is legal and optimized before leaving the pickup location. Onboard scales come in both mechanical and electronic configurations. Both display the on-ground weight of a tractor, trailer and combination vehicle, but electronic scales also can send information to the office, where it can be integrated with billing and other processes. Electronic weighing remains in its infancy but is gaining traction.
