Smartphone Weighing App
CAT Scale has developed an application for Android smartphones that will allow drivers to weigh their truck without leaving the cab. An iPhone version of the application will also be developed soon.
The new Weigh My Truck app allows drivers to weigh their truck, pay for the transaction via PayPal, and get the weights displayed right on their smartphone. The app will also e-mail a PDF copy of the scale ticket or a weight information text file to up to five email addresses the driver specifies. If a driver needs a hard-copy scale ticket, they can still pick it up at the fuel desk within an hour after weighing using Weigh My Truck.
It’s currently being tested and will be available to the trucking public in June. Drivers will be able to create an account online that will store basic truck information and email preferences as well as keep a record of past weigh transactions.
