What Is Onboard Weighing?
Onboard weighing systems use advanced sensors installed on your tractor and trailer to provide real-time
weight data directly to drivers and fleet managers. These systems measure vehicle, axle, and gross
weights while loading or driving, eliminating guesswork and reducing dependence on external scales.
Unlike traditional weighing methods that require stopping at scale houses, onboard systems provide
continuous monitoring, allowing for immediate load adjustments and confident highway operation.
