Weighing App for Android
CAT Scale Company has developed an application for Android smartphones that will allow drivers to weigh their truck without leaving the cab.
The new Weigh My Truck application 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 email a PDF copy of the scale ticket or a weight-information text file to up to five e-mail addresses as specified by the driver. If a driver needs a hard-copy scale ticket, he can still pick up a printed ticket at the fuel desk within an hour after weighing using the new application.
Drivers will be able to create an account online that will store basic truck information and e-mail preferences as well as keep a record of past weigh transactions.
The new application is currently being tested and will be available to the trucking public in June. An iPhone version of the application will also be developed but no timeline has been offered.
