Free RoadTrucker Axle Weight Calculator for Truckers


This is a simple Truck App to calculate the Weight on the Drive and Trailer Axles, when weighing on a Platform scale. You can make a quick comparison to the allowable limits of your Truck. Obviously you should use a CAT Scale when available, as CAT Scales are guaranteed to be accurate. However, if a CAT scale is not within a reasonable distance, the Truck Axle Weights calculator will help verify your weight on your Drive and Trailer axles, reducing math errors.

It works with 3 and 4 axle tractors. The difference will be, that the allowable weight on 3 drives or 3 Trailer axels will obviously be more than on 2 drives or 2 trailer axels. It does not show legal weights because legal weights depend on the distance between axles, or the manufacturer specification, which ever is lower; plus there are some grandfathered weights and the states proclivity to round up or round down. To calculate allowable weights, see RoadTrucker's Free App, "RT Bridge Calculator for Truckers".

Note: This app is for use on Platform Scales. DO NOT USE ON CAT SCALES. It is NOT needed as the CAT scales will give you each axel directly, so there is nothing to calculate.
