You take time to secure your personalinformation, but what are you doing to protectyour business from truck scale cheaters?

It is the most common and easiest way drivers can cheat at the truck scale. Unattended scales and scales where large volumes of traffic are moving through quickly are the most vulnerable. This cheat can cost you thousands of dollars in lost profits if undetected.

A driver pulls up so that one set of axles is off the front of the scale, or not fully on, and leaves a set of axles off the back of the scale. This will cause a deceptively light weight reading and the driver will pay for less than they are receiving.

With one truck fully on the scale, the next truck inline drives one set of axles on to the scale. Thiscreates a deceptively high weight reading.
