During the truck spec’ing process fleets want to know the impact that changing specs can have on overall weight.
In an effort to support emergency relief efforts in response to the coronavirus outbreak, Illinois is allowing 88,000 pounds (or an additional 10% above legal loads on fewer axles) for trucks assisting with emergency relief.
CURT has introduced a Bluetooth-enabled, smartphone-compatible mobile towing scale called BetterWeigh.
Fairbanks Scales Inc. announced the new Talon Low Profile Truck Scale, ideal for replacing older, low-profile scales reaching the end of their service life.
By allowing trucks to bypass scales, Drivewyze enables drivers to deliver loads at a faster rate while maximizing paid driving time.
Defined by two key measurements, yield strength and percent elongation, steel is being evaluated by a growing number of fleet managers.
Axle capacities are limited either by the axle capacity or the legal weight limits, whichever is lower. Performing a weight distribution analysis can achieve the proper axle loadings before a truck is built.
While cost remains an obstacle to widespread acceptance of carbon-body trucks, this lightweight, durable, and strong material can facilitate fleet vehicle downsizing, promote fuel-efficient engines, and help extend lifecycles.
Extra weight from trailer add-ons may push otherwise underweight vehicles over the DOT-exempt weight limit.
